Zeroing in just on this one piece: SCons has support for this via a 
concept called a "variant directory", which is a shadow of your source 
directory (created either using links/copies, or by doing beind the 
covers path fiddling, depending on options you select). You build in the 
variant directory, leaving the results there, if you selected the 
non-copying option, the sources won't be left there.
