[Bf-committers] Keep SCons relevant to CMake

Hey,

This rant is caused by the following change:
https://developer.blender.org/rBe67fd7a (Cambo, sorry, this commit just
happened to be the most recent which demonstrates the issue we're having).

Well, it was fair enough change to split appdir routines into dedicated
file keeping path utils small and nice. And was fair enough change to fix
CMake compilation. But hey, where's the change to SCons?!

I would ask everyone to pay more attention on making sure changes to either
of SCons or CMake build systems are also ported to another system. I
wouldn't expect it to be huge overhead to do such a tweaks for both systems.

And yes, all the rants about "hey, SCons is stupid and CMake is just much
nicer" could be send directly to /dev/null. I do not care about such a
statements for as long SCons continues to be officially supported and used
for release builds process.

End of rant, now let's get back to 2.73 release work.
