INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
=========================
Python 1.5.2, you may not have distutils installed. If you are running
Python version 1.6 or later, you should be fine.
-NOTE TO RED HAT USERS: All Red Hat Linux versions as late as 7.3 (at
-least) still ship Python 1.5.2 as the default, so you probably do *not*
-have distutils installed, unless you have already done so manually.

Please note the following important changes since release 0.10:
- - The default suffix for shared object files when using gcc has now
- been changed to '.os'. This makes library builds more convenient
- by allowing both static (compiled without -fPIC) and shared object
- files (compiled with -fPIC) to exist side-by-side. If you want to
- preserve the old behavior of using .o files for shared objects,
- you must now explicitly reset the SHOBJSUFFIX value in your
- construction environment as follows:

+ - The default behavior when no targets are specified has been changed
+ to be like Make: everything in the current directory and below will
+ be built. This can be disabled by specifying "Default(None)" in an
+ SConscript, in which case there will be no default targets and
+ SCons will print an appropriate error message.
+
- Setting the BUILDERS construction variable now properly clears
the previous Builder attributes from the construction Environment.
Before, you could initialize BUILDERS like so:
If you have defined a strfunction() for a Python function Action,
you will need to add a third "env" argument to your function call.

Please note the following important changes since release 0.09:
- The Scanner interface has been changed to make it easier to
- Executing the -u or -U option from a source directory that has an
associated BuildDir() does not build the targets in the BuildDir().
+ - Modifying a construction environment in a subsidiary SConscript
+ file modifies the global environment.
+
+ - PDB files on Win32 in a build that uses BuildDir() are built in
+ the source directory, not the build directory.
+
+ - MSVC .res files are not rebuilt when icons change.
+
+ - The -c option does not clean up .sconsign files or directories
+ created as part of the build.
+
- No support yet for the following planned command-line options:
-d -e -l --list-actions --list-derived --list-where
