It appears that the build is ignoring that and using SConsAddons from  
the deps/scons-addons subdirectory of the CppDOM source tree.

The problem is that there were API changes in SCons 0.98 (IIRC). The  
latest SConsAddons does deal with those changes, but the CppDOM build  
is putting its deps/scons-addons/src directory at the front of the  
module search path. You could modify the SConstruct file to comment  
out line 10 and probably get things building. Either that, or you  
could check out the CppDOM SVN trunk and build it. There have only  
been two revisions to the code since 0.7.10 was released, and both  
were to simplify the SConstruct file.
