[Scons-dev] README.rst edits

[Managan, Rob]

Bill,

On the bash and cshell commands I just put what works for me. I know
little about this but somehow having the environment variable set hijacks
the startup of my installed version of scons to use the python files in
the SCONS_LIB_DIR.

I won't comment on scons_local since I have yet to use it...
