FWIW: As it stands right now the size of the latest scons distribution is 152K,
or exactly 2.2% of the latest Boost release. I don't think your users will
notice if you bundle scons with the rest of your package. There is nothing to
install: scons works straight from the unpacked tar file. If you have Python
anyway I cannot see a reason for still using a build tool from the stone ages
of computing.
