It does work well, but we have a pet python developer on the team, and
he's spent a lot of time getting it to where it is now, and its still
not perfect by any means.

No, haven't really looked at others than that. The original Yhc reason
for going to Scons was that KDE 4 is going to use it for all
platforms, including Windows. Since then, then dropped Scons and moved
to CMake - I am just playing follow the leader :)

I think Yhc will stick with Scons for a while yet, but if you do find
what the "one true answer" is, we'd love to hear it!

As it currently stands, that sounds like a very painful way to uncover
new cabal bugs :)

Thanks
