[Scons-dev] SCons COM vs COMSTR tests

[Bill Deegan]

William,

I think I disagree.
The ability to set one different from the other should work and should be
tested.

Though, this really comes from the Action Object..

I think ideally we'd be able to easily separate running unit tests from the
system tests. (Though you can do that by specifying which parent directory
now).
