+# Note that while scons is a build tool, it requires running a python
+# program on the host that uses the scons library.  Currently, the
+# python version on the host and the version being used on the target
+# for the package being built are linked.
+# \todo Consider if this can be BUILD_DEPENDS (or TOOL), instead of buildlink.
+
+# scons scripts (SConstruct) have a number of common problems,
+# including not passing environment variables set by pkgsrc to
+# invocations of the compiler.  See the
+# /usr/pkgsrc/*/*/patch-SConstruct for typical remediations.
