[Once development] Re: scons

[Cirilo B. <cir...@cs...>]

Well, scons doesn't work under MinGW (because no one has compiled Python 
  for MinGW) while jam works fine.  So what wonderful capabilities has 
scons got that jam hasn't got - and will we ever make use of it? 
Otherwise, the fact that it can't compile under MinGW is a big minus.
