[Scons-dev] debugging signatures

[William Deegan]

Tom,

Everything which isn't wrapped in $( $)... from manpage:
The special pseudo-variables*$(*and*$)*may be used to surround parts of 
a command line that may change/without/causing a rebuild--that is, which 
are not included in the signature of target files built with this 
command. All text between*$(*and*$)*will be removed from the command 
line before it is added to file signatures, and the*$(*and*$)*will be 
removed before the command is executed. For example, the command line:

-Bill
