[Scons-dev] Factoring out compiler detection/handling into independent piece

[anatoly techtonik]

As started in https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/pull-request/210/changes-to-allow-building-win32-and-win64

The idea is that many Python tools that are building extensions rely
on distutils ability to detect compilers and its poor support for
supplying options and other stuff to them. If SCons could factor out
the compiler tooling into independent component, that could be reused
outside for compiler detection logic and perhaps a little more sugar,
that would free Python people from the burden of maintaining the tools
of people from C/C++ domain.

It might be a good GSoC project and a starting point to attack Parts
integration complexity.

The entrypoint is to choose a story that will be useful. like this one:
