OK, I've disabled the troublesome code in CVS since it seems to trip up
more people than it helps (sorry Nathan). If you want to go back to using
the HEAD revision, I think you'll need to remove the sticky tag with:

cvs update -A SConstruct

I had the same problem. I fixed it by downgrading scons. the problem
is that scons is missing an equal sign in there (should be
--include-dir=source\icons). This is a scons bug and not a
Blender problem. The scons version I tried which worked for me
is 0.96.1, which is referenced in a popular tutorial:

Silly scons.
