"most" things working in 2.6 that is a plus (i.e. we should try not to make
it fail immediately on startup with 2.6; many people just do simple things
with SCons.)

If there are particular features in the 2.7.x stream we should, or need to,
care about, lay them out here and let's discuss.

I think we've said that "3.x" means 3.3 or later but I could be wrong about
that detail.
