[Chicago] SCons

[Garrett Smith]

I briefly looked at it, but it felt too hard-wired for Python builds and installations. I'm looking for a broader starting point and didn't feel like digging into disutils to make it work that way. Maybe it's easy though. Sounds like Kumar might have some specifics on this point.
