I would be interested in a separate presentation about SCons. Don't know about 
the other club attendees, but if you have the will and the time, then I say 
"Go for it.". 

I've used SCons too for the base Latemp package, but didn't like it too much. 
SCons is probably better than the GNU Autotools, but I preferred to use CMake 
for converting Freecell Solver away from them (after hearing that the KDE 
people chose CMake for KDE 4.x), and have been pretty happy with CMake since.

God gave us two eyes and ten fingers so we will type five times as much as we
read.
