Perhaps off topic. Someone know the prons/cons of scons

My first impression is that it is very similar to cmake as design
phylosophy, but use only phyton on the target system and this a plus, IMHO.

On the other side, if i build a project for multiple UNIX platform, with
different compiler, i prefer to use the autotools. But it is only an
opinion.
