[Scons-dev] SConf description

[anatoly techtonik]

Sorry for not being clear. This is a new description that I wrote. I lack
experience in both Autotools and SConf, so it is my best understanding what
SConf does and I like to make sure that it is accurate. It can be that I've
missed something or put things wrong.
