For now I add the ARGUMENTS to the config
config = {
          'modules'  : 'generic cppunit',
          'builddir' : 'build', # put all object files under 'build/'
          'config.h' : 1, # mechanism should be ok
          'rpath'    : 1, # incomplete
          'bootstrap': 1, # incomplete
          #'colorful' : not os.environ.has_key('NOCOLORS'), # only with 
scons >= 0.96.91 - now miniscons
          'colorful' : 0,
          'arguments' : ARGUMENTS
         }

And in configure I do a:

I add the arguments to the env with env(..., ARGS=arguments)

I know it is not very clean, but It works.

Another option would be to add in the configure the scons parser.
it is two smalls functions. _Add_Targets ans _Add_Arguments

targets = []
xmit_args = []
for a in args:
        if '=' in a:
            xmit_args.append(a)
        else:
            targets.append(a)
SCons.Script._Add_Targets(targets)
SCons.Script._Add_Arguments(xmit_args)


What do you think.
