not true..the 'make' script builds single C sources which have been aliased into the build/src/ dir, the SCons script builds those as well as various libraries that i liked. theres no extra work to support both if you put the files in build/src..

some systems have python and not autotools, and vice versa..

not true if by 'old one' you mean /externals/build/{platform} (3 seperate systems) - but it is duplicating/replacing build scripts of individual libraries, which could get out of synch over time...somehow SConscripts seemed more robust than scripting a 'make' via exec()..but given gentoo's very successful approach in doing that, it could be considered..

but really, read the cyclone makefile and tell me you know what its doing! i had to rewrite it in SCons just to figure out how everything fit together..

could you type 'make' once and get zexy, cyclone, pdcontainer, ann, pmpd, unauthorized, OSCx, etc? i dont think you could..

me neither :) feel free to add iemlib or anything else you think is missing..an ebuild to grab all the dependencies would be nice as well..
