[Scons-dev] SCons doesn't bootstrap without libxml2

[anatoly techtonik]

Why SCons bootstrap became dependent on external libraries?
I find it a major usability regression. Can this be fixed?


R:\scons>py bootstrap.py
C:\Python27\python.exe R:\scons\bootstrap\src\script\scons.py
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
