"SCons is a software construction tool (build tool

substitute for Make) implemented in Python. It

features a modular build engine that can be

embedded in other software. SCons configuration

files are Python scripts that call the build

engine API. It can scan files to detect

dependencies automatically and maintain a global

view of all dependencies in a build tree, and uses

MD5 signatures to detect changed file contents

reliably. Timestamps can be used if you prefer.

SCons also supports parallel builds and is easily

extensible through user-defined builder and

scanner objects."
