There will certainly be cases where you would want both directories to be 
compiled as a single unit.

*Especially* if at least one of those directories contains autogenerated 
source that is created by an earlier build step.  (SCons didn't seem to 
support this the last time that I thought about using it for Java, but that 
could be a faulty memory of mine.)
