40 &SCons; offers a robust and feature-rich design for an SC-build
41 tool. With a Build Engine based on the proven design of
42 the &Cons; utility, it offers increased simplification of the
43 user interface for unsophisticated users with the addition
44 of the "do-the-right-thing" <function>env.Make</function>
45 method, increased flexibility for sophisticated users with the
46 addition of &Builder; and &Scanner; objects, a mechanism to
47 allow tool-masters (and users) to share working construction
48 environments, and embeddability to provide reliable dependency
49 management in a variety of environments and interfaces.
