Re: cons development

[Gary Oberbrunner]

Our build system is completely cons-based here.  I maintain about 6900 
lines of cons-related perl code (Conscripts/Constructs, extensions, 
etc.), not including cons itself.  So I have a definite interest in 
seeing cons succeed.  It does what I need quite well right now, though 
like everyone else I'd like to see -j support and better error 
reporting, but I don't think it's really possible to do -j correctly 
given the current infrastructure.

If SCons is the wave of the future, we'll have to make the jump at some 
point, but given the amount of investment and perl knowledge we have 
here, I'm not likely to move until I have to.

To make a long story short, although I don't have a lot of free time, 
I'm certainly willing to do some coding and some maintenance work. 
Count me in.
