Great, maybe we should start with the install stuff. Shouldn't be that hard, there are the commands install_targets and install_files, which trigger cmake to generate the build rules. The bigger problem is that we have to figure out what we should do when installing: only copying files? What is more readable scons or the autofiles.
There are two file structures, windows and *nix and you need to pay extra attention to how suffix is handled. Things like --prefix and --DISTDIR can make your life a bit difficult. You may also need to compile po files. The install section of SConstruct is a bit messy but should be easier to understand than autotools. Bo
