[Scons-dev] Clang support

[Paweł Tomulik]

Looks like SCons is missing a "tool preference system", where each user 
(developer, not end user) could easily re-define by its own the 
preferred order of compiler toolchains. The same applies to other tools. 
Don't worry, there will always be room for discussion, for example "what 
should be the default preference order" :)

Best regards!
