Hi,

While looking at the SConf code I've tried to explain what does
"Autoconf-like configuration support" means. It would be nice if you can
check that description is accurate:


"""SCons.SConf

Autoconf-like configuration support.

In other words, this package allows to run series of tests to detect
capabilities of current system and generate config files (header files
in C/C++) that turn on system-specific options and optimizations.

For example, it is possible to detect if optional libraries are present
on current system and generate config that makes compiler include them.
C compilers do not have ability to catch ImportError if some library is
not found, so these checks should be done externally.
