Mainly I want a Windows person to make sure this works on Windows. I did not know if just running scons will get the local copy after SCONS_LIB_DIR gets set.


I think in all three examples you'll need to put the scons script and/or batch script at the front of PATH?

We should also mention the scons-local distribution which lets you just unpack the tar and/or zip file and run it locally. So no "install" per say, just unpack.

Hope that helps!
