> So now name up some advantages of scons over auto*

not only does scons not make me cringe every time i look at it, but i can even reasonably hack on it without become a scons wizard.

it also means that instead of every 3rd party app shipping a couple of megs of configuration structure (have you SEEN how big configure, aclocal.m4, acinclude.m4, etc is these days?!), they can ship a tiny little script.

when your app is only a few hundred KB (if that) of source code, the current situation is just silly and a bandwidth waster.

scons does the job, does it well, does it with less black magic and does it smaller.
