I know it's been a while since you announced this, but I'm just looking into this now. My primary interest is having a build script that selects the correct c++ compiler and get around a long-standing distutils bug.
I'm running into a little speed bump here. It's failing on the pkg-config detection of gtk. I have user-locally built and installed packages for gtk (and many other things), so I set my PKG_CONFIG_PATH to a custom location. However, it appears that scons isn't passing this along to 'pkg-config'. By poking into scons.Action._subproc, it looks like it is only passing a limited set of environment variables ("PATH", "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" and "HOME") to the pkg-config subprocess. Is there an scons way to get it to use this environment variable?

See above for more information. If you think it is a problem in numscons, you can also try executing the scons command with --log-level option for more detailed output of what numscons is doing, for example --log-level=0; the lowest the level is, the more detailed the output it.
