Not needed to don a silly hat... somehow there are a few things in SCons 
that just strain the intuition.  The behaviors of clean and noexec 
options have "surprises" - both in target selection (it seems logical if 
you explain it that targets to act on are selected the same way as 
without either option, but it just isn't what you first think of); and 
then the things that do or don't happen with those options active - like 
you might need to use GetOption to check if they're set to force the 
behavior you expect.  Not throwing any stones, just reporting what I've 
run into myself and see other people run into.  VariantDir is the other 
major one - it's not "an alternate place to put build artifacts", it's 
"an alternate place to do the build, with SCons fixing things up to make 
it look just like the source directory" - sounds like a subtle 
distinction but full of traps. It's not the complete list... :)
