I'm wondering the same thing... I agree, it would be sort of nice to have
everything in one binary (or at least have that option), but is it that big
of a practical gain?  And wouldn't having that many more source files just
increase the scons overhead further (independent of the SLICC parsing
times)?

It seems like we've got the original se.py problem solved (correct?), so
it's not like there's a bug that really needs this capability to be fixed.

Also, wrt compiling Ruby in by default... I think that's a good idea, but
for modularity's sake it's still nice to be able to turn it off if it's not
being used.
