Matt, There has been alot of discussion about build systems on #parrot recently so I'm CCing p6i. Is SCons really an option for Parrot? I don't really know much about it but since it's implimented in Python, and Python hasn't been ported to all the platforms we hope to run on, wouldn't it introduce a serious portability issue? -J --
