http://www.scons.org/wiki/ToolchainRevamp (and related sub-pages).  There
was some mailing list discussion which I wanted to cut and paste into the
discussion page but didn't get around to that yet.  Admittedly this is not
100% up to date but it describes the general approach I'm investigating.

I have a separate repo where I'm working on some test implementations,
starting with a basic test framework for a new Tool base class and a
ToolRegistry (my tasks for this weekend if I can get enough time).  But
it's nowhere near ready to share, which is why I just posted some
pseudocode on that wiki page.  I need to strike a balance between sharing
the design and being transparent so people can give feedback, and trying
things out.
