I have been thinking about such a mechanism. This will probably need
some python scripting to accomplish this - along with some SCons tricks,
but I think it should be possible.

I would prefer to have this as the default option, only with a special
flag would you be able to do a quick build.

I have seen a message on the SCons mail list on how to do this. I'll
look into this.

After my holidays (end of July), I'll have more time to spend on SCons
again. I'm sorry to have been out and busy for such a long time.
