+SCons is an Open Source software construction tool--that is, a next-generation
+build tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the
+classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to
+autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an
+easier, more reliable and faster way to build software.
+
+SCons consists of several Python scripts. You will need to have Python
+installed in order to use SCons.
