Autotools vs SCons configure/build system
Well I just included the scons tarball in tools/ in the source distribution. I guess that is actually better than untarring it in the root of the source package, because some people won't need it. We'll need something in the README saying to untar it in the root vdrift source dir if you don't have scons. Something like<pre>tar zxvf tools/scons-local-0.96.1.tar.gz</pre>should do the trick. Then instead of running "scons" they run<pre>./scons.py [scons options...]</pre>where [scons options...] is the usual options for build/installation.The SCons branch is as ready as its going to be for the main branch. I'd like to merge it in, but I want Joe to check it out before I do that, so he can make sure he likes SCons and the new slightly restructured directories.
