But it still works if you start the "bootstrap.py" from the top-level 
folder ("SCons_D_Tooling" in your case), right?

For the doc toolchain changes I also added some basic support for 
wildcards in the Manifest files, and I use os.chdir inside...this 
obviously breaks "bootstrap.py" when calling it from another path. I 
wasn't aware that this functionality was ever supported and had assumed 
that the whole bootstrapping process would have several hardcoded paths 
and stuff anyway. Sorry about that...

I'll have a look and see if I can improve things, or if we have to 
switch back to the old handling of Manifest files.
