Hello,

here is the small exchange which I recently had with the author of
Bento in regard to SCons vs waf support in his tool:

The main issue with scons is that it is not really usable as a library
(unless they massively improved the situation in the last one year or
two), and waf codebase is easier to follow.

While it should be possible to add support for scons, it won't be a
priority for me.
