I have a concept of dir based tests that is similar to what you propose and
is much easier to write than current tests. It is not committed, but here is
what is standing on my disk.

--- cat scons/test/[dirbased]/README.md --
Location for "dir-based" tests.

Directory based test consist of SConstruct file,
source file tree and [result] file tree. Source
tree with SConstruct is copied into temp dir, and
SCons is run from there. After that temp dir
contents is compared with [result].
