A further tu'pence worth. Doing this would be a *really* good idea.
One of the good (maybe the only good :) thing about Perl is that you can go to
CPAN, and (hopefully) find and download the package you need. Contrast auto*
where, I strongly suspect, the files just aggregate more and more cruft
because it is so painful then the best strategy is to tack a bit on the end.
I'd suggest that getting scons to build KDE would be really good for both KDE
and for scons itself.
