Ok. I believe this is a issue of "Let's first see what you can do on the
guitar_chord_editor branch Stephen".

Thomas has also critiqued the use of many sub-SConscript files. I
acknowledge my novice understanding of scons contributed to that. Thomas
has been helping me to work on the build system. He sent me the latest
bksys and worked on some of the SConscript files. I will be working on
reducing the number of SConscript files.
So stay tuned to the guitar_tab_editor branch for these changes.
