Yes, and slowness is one problem I doubt SCons can address.  As far as I
ahve looked (not very far), it uses so many more classes and class
instantiations than Waf in the user scripts, for example.

Exactly :-P

Frankly, I don't know right now, and anyway I've already become busy
again; more important is when will have no longer the right to spend a
lot of time on Lily development (from January).  I'm going to learn Waf
and play with it a little, then I'll be able to compute an estimation.
