While I prefer it to SCons, particularly when config/build times are an issue and you want to have several active build trees, it is a significantly heavier dependency. With SCons, you can dump scons-local (a pure Python script) into the source tree and then users only need Python. There are lots of other lightweight build tools. Jed
