I'll wait for the answers to the above questions. I would be fine with including scons in SAGE. I think it's already in one of the optional packages (I can't remember for sure though). It's just a little python program, after all. It would take an absolutely massive amount of convincing to even begin to convince me to include the entire 17MB C++ boost library in SAGE.
