Personally I think it's really too early for that. We first have to try and make
the writing of SConscript files as easy as possible; it shouldn't take more lines
(or more pieces of information, more precisely) than with Makefile.am syntax.
It should also be straightforward - e.g. having to add obj.iskdelib=1 or it_is_a_kdelib() 
to libraries to say that they are not loadable modules seems wrong; shouldn't that be 
kdeobj('shlib') vs kdeobj('module')? The '#' and '##' stuff has to go away too.
OK for the rest it's starting to look quite OK, as far as building is concerned.
We still have much work on the configuration side, but that's another topic.
