I was under the impression that Scons was complex and broke the rule of "do 
not build/compile" that we have for Scripty (but one single exception).

And as Stephan Kulow seemed to prefer something that can be sourced by Bash, I 
had this proposal.

However Stephan Kulow has written in the meantime that using scons would be 
fine in his eyes, so I do not mind.

Have a nice day!
