available on non-windows systems. Windows users can download and install
python from http://www.python.org.
* SCons:
- scons >= 0.96.92 is needed. You can either use a full system-wide scons

distribution or a light-weight one (called scons-local) installed along

Paths: Most of them will be probed if not specified.

over here)
