[Scons-dev] Distinguishing Debian and Fedora

[Alexandre Feblot]

Hi,

If doing that, enum34 would have to be integrated in SCons sources, to keep
it dependant only on a standard python install, right?

Having no fancy external modules to install before being able to use Scons
is convenient and helpful, it should remain that simple.
