I'm not opposed to releasing in the same update as slots, but since the
cross language code reviews haven't been finished, I don't want to delay
slots since it is ready now.

The pessimist in me as sees doing two major enhancements in the same
release as higher risk; I don't foresee any issues, but its worth the
thought if the release overhead isn't too bad.

Truly appreciated.  I have spent a lot of time on this issue despite what
one might expect from the number of lines of code.

It was honestly my first time working in a "real" python environment
outside of scripting, and the SCons code base is rather complex.  It
instills me greater appreciation for the work that has already done.

I also want to thank everyone here for their help past and future, but
don't pat me on the back until its done. I might get lazy :)
