here's my two cents after a very brief foray into trying scons: a very 
large part of success behind auto* is availability of canned solutions 
(like checking sizeof(void*), pkg-config, and others ). scons is a bit 
immature in that aspect in the sense that these solutions are either not 
available or scattered across the web in form of recipes which a user 
needs to paste into his SConscript files. But it should be very possible 
to build a repository of these in an admin directory similar to that of 
kde-common; so that users can easily call them in the SConscript files 
without having to know a whole lot of python programming.
