All,
I see the following when running bootstrap.py
SCons import failed. Trying to run from source directory
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.

Also I had to install the following (on ubuntu 10.04)
sudo apt-get install python-libxml2 python-libxslt1 python-epydoc fop
python2.6-dev
Note that without the proper tools installed the build failed complaining about
scons.1 missing.
Would it be possible to allow bootstrap.py to complete skipping the parts which
won't build due to missing tools?
I don't remember if that's what we did before.
Also, probably a good idea to update: bin/scons_dev_master.py to have an
updated list of tools needed would be great.
Other than that a quick scan through the docs looks good.
I think some tweaking of fonts and such (as I believe Russel suggested) is
probably a good idea, but by no means a blocker on merging.
Thanks for all your work Dirk!

Seems reasonable that the build products would go in the build dir.
I believe that's been the case up to now.
Typically when I'm working on such, I may do a rm -rf build, and then rebuild
to make sure the clean build doesn't have issues.
