Hey, just to throw this out there, what do people think of having a
menuconfig like interface to configure a build? It would be a little
easier to work with and a little easier to discover what options
there
are. I'm thinking maybe you pass in --configure and it does the same
thing as the help, except instead of printing all the options it
lets
you modify them and stores the results. I don't think using the real
menuconfig would work, but it probably (knock on wood) wouldn't be
too
hard to come up with a reasonable approximation using the python
bindings for ncurses. I've been meaning to look into how feasible
this
is on the scons side, but I haven't found the time. It may be
completely
impossible.
Sounds interesting. Do people really screw around with options much
though? I think it would be a fun little project, I just don't know
how many people would use it. I fear that this might encourage more
compile time options and we certainly don't want that. :)

I think if we're going to spend some time on a infrastructure project
tending to the regression issues would be higher value.
