I'm afraid it is too late to resurrect SCons, or too early if you
prefer.  I remember a number of packages used a so-called revolutionary
program named SCons, I no longer encounter it.  Maybe it's superior to
stepmake system, but we recently consolidated the makefiles enough (e.g.
support for -j make flag, cleaning up documentation compilation) so that
we can concentrate on other problems.

I will include this removal in the patch that splits stuff in
buildscripts.
