So how do I specify these targets? I would assume I need to specify foo 
with some path like /home/harti/build/play/sub1/foo or just the directories.
None of this works. scons tells me either that it doesn't know how to 
build it or it spits out a python error ('NoneType' object has no 
attribute 'get_contents').
