Blender? =)

Actually, I am thinking about looking closer at Blender's usage of SCons.
Over the years they've accumulated a lot of practices that could be iterated
over and put back to SCons to make User eXperience more familiar for new
generation.

I can think of two issue I'd like to see resolved as a result of SCons + Blender
collaboration:

  1. visualization of SCons internal process
      1.1 masterplan graph (DAG of TaskMaster)
      1.2 real-time masterplan progress

  2. plugin / tool system
      2.1 list all bad/confusing points about current Blender toolchain
      2.2 see how this could be improved
      2.3 r and d
