[Scons-dev] Fwd: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Now Accepting Applications for Mentoring Organizations for GSoC 2014

So I fixed the issue with output in Parts. I not saying it could not be clean up some more. However it solves the output issues, and adds coloring ( which seems to need some fixing in certain cases.. ie mac mostly) and logging support. It might not be too hard for someone to move the code over to SCons and integrated its usage into SCons.

Just a thought.

Anatoly,
While I agree many of the things in your list would be nice to get done.
I'm not sure most of them are a good thing for a GSOC student to attempt.
Few students would have the time to ramp up on all the info needed and make some concrete contributions in the time allowed.
my 2cents.

Also integrate with https://github.com/facebook/watchman to speed up
rebuilds (instead of scanning the whole tree again and again).
