Yes, I like it a lot. But then, I also stand accused of being a Python
weenie.
I use it to build a cross-compiled version of Gambit for the Nintendo
DS. Cross compiling is something which autofoo and friends have
traditionally been very poor at.
The autoconf functionality is a bit weak, right now.
However, the built-in builders are getting *very* extensive. In
addition, the fact that you can see the builders and then make your own
is very helpful.
The only gripe I have about it is how "build_dir" works. I'm not sure
if that is my failing, SCons' failing, or a documentation failing.
