cons 2.1.2 issues

[Zachary Deretsky]

1. Path for QuickScan does not work, Tony's last resort suggestion
to use froward slashes only did not help either.
I believe this is a critical bug.

2. Depends with anonimous array reference does not work:

Depends $CONS [qw(rings.cpy ringspyapi.py)], qw( rings.i rings.ii);

is not executed, but if I put:

Depends $CONS qw(rings.cpy), qw( rings.i rings.ii);
Depends $CONS qw(ringspyapi.py), qw( rings.i rings.ii);

both of them get called.

So this has a workaround which, maybe, should be mentioned in the release
notes.

3. Variables in the Depends and Command methods do not work or
I do not understand how to use them. Only %>:? style works,
something like

Depends $CONS qw(rings.cpy ), qw(
                                        $INCLUDE/rngCommon.hpp
                                        $SWIG/gandalf.i
                              );

does not work, neither does this:

Command $CONS [qw(ringspyapi.pyc ctmpyapi.pyc rtcpyapi.pyc)],
   qw(ringspyapi.py ctmpyapi.py rtcpyapi.py), qq(
    python $CONS->{ENV}{TPCROOT}/lib/pyc/compileall.py %>:d
);

So, how can I refer to the absolute path
$CONS->{ENV}{TPCROOT}/lib/pyc/compileall.py
which is passed through the environment from Construct?

4. It would be nice if QuickScan interface could be changed to just filename
as a parameter. There are at least 2 problems now: the scanner is called too
many times and the filename of the scanned file is not available
for debugging.

Please manifest your wisdom on the above issues!

Thanks, Zach.
