As a far-too-long-time user of Scons (in Serf), let me just add a
caution: Scons is very, very broken and not at all well maintained.
Writing a truly cross-platform, cross-toolchain SConstruct file for
anything other than really trivial cases amounts to writing a *lot* of
platform-specific Python code to make the builds work.

If you're already moving to gmake (without autotools, and I expect using
Cygwin on Windows), then I suggest you finish the transition, then leave
well enough alone.
