-      SCons is an Open Source software construction 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.
