Curses, this gives me an awkward decision.  Clearly SCons is currently
the right tool for this job, but unlike Waf and Gradle which can be
embedded in the project easily, SCons cannot.  Waf has the wrong focus
for this task so it is out.

Any idea of a timescale for when this file/directory-based stuff might
be available for use?  If it's a few weeks I may wait, if it's a few
months, I'll switch from Gant to SCons now and think about Gradle for
this later.

Thanks.
