help in simplification of code [string manipulation]

[John]

How could I simplify the code to get libs out of LDFLAGS
or vice versa automatically in the following python/scons code?

if sys.platform[:5] == 'linux':
	env.Append (CPPFLAGS = '-D__LINUX')
	env.Append (LDFLAGS  = '-lglut -lGLU -lGL -lm')
	env.Append(CPPPATH=['include', 'include/trackball'])
	libs = ['glut', 
		'GLU',
		'GL',
		'm',]


Thanks,
