I'll take a look to see how much work it would be, and then let the group
know.
I see the following as a reasonable way.
Tools query some package for valid path values.
That package can check for:
SCONS_TOOLS_PATH
And/or provide a way for SConsctrucs and site_init.py to set the PATH(s)

I don't remember that episode, but I can imagine.
I guess we need 2 VMs per platform, one pure "out of the box", and one
"with all the tools supported in the distribution". All the other
combinations would amount to needing a near infinite

That's cruft leftover from Greg Noel.
I actually made a change many moons ago so you're test environment could be
setup based on your PATH, thus reducing the number of VM's needed to test
different combinations of tools.
It gets ridiculous really fast otherwise.
Greg pulled it all out with some cu
As far as I understand it, env.Detect calls env.WhereIs with path=None,
which means it uses env['ENV']['PATH']. By default, a new Environment
doesn't inherit the user's shell environment into env['ENV'], but users can
modify it as they want. So in a real user's code, the path Detect will use

I think I have ranted about this before, but the red haze must have been
so strong I failed to note the well reasoned responses you folk will
have provided.
The core problem is that TestSCons.TestSCons().where_is(x) uses the
user's path for executable look up whereas Environment.Detect(x) does
not
