It is not basic building I worry about. It is things like distcheck,
gettext, pch, warnings, stdlib-debug, install, stage-dir etc. etc.
that I worry about.
I see no or littel support for these in scons, so _you_ have to show
that it can be done. (and not that that compiler args vary between
compiler versions, not just between compiler brands)

Totally usable is not good enough. It must handle the same problems as
autotools does. I am not saying that this must be done promtly, but at
least it must be shown that it can be done.
(and without creating something that is just as complex as auto*)
