[Scons-dev] [Fwd: [Scons-users] [patch] SCons fails to run in standalone mode]

[Gary Oberbrunner]

I'm still here -- just working 24/7 at my day job -- soon I"ll be back to

scons directly out of its repo checkout.  I use it like that.  Haven't been
following the discussion closely but breaking that would not make me happy.
