Are you (or anyone else out there) familiar with Scons?

I've been considering using it as a replacement for the autotools in
VPython's source tree.  The last time that I checked, Scons had very
weak support for actually installing packages, which is why I haven't
used it for anything other than projects that I haven't actually
distributed.  On the other hand, the SConstruct build file is very easy
to read and change.

Can any of the third-party packagers comment on their experience with
redistributing scons-built packages?

Thanks,
