I would have to second this.  I would rather use scons for a number of 
technical reasons, but at the end of the day scons just isn't working and I 
am spending more time attempting to build kde then doing any work.  Really it 
was foolish of us to include scons so early.

Don't recall who said it, but:

It doesn't matter how great product X is over product Y if it doesn't work.
