Hi Oleg,

you could start with section "18. Writing Your Own Builders" of the User 
Guide and

   http://scons.org/wiki/ToolsForFools

, which deals with developing new builders and tools.
Also, the index of out-of-core Tools

   http://scons.org/wiki/ToolsIndex

can point you to some real examples, e.g. the Qt4 builders.

This should give you a little to read over the weekend. ;)

Best regards,

Dirk
