+ABOUT SCONS
 
 Distinctive features of SCons include:
 
+  - a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
+    everything built properly
   - configuration files are Python scripts, allowing the full use of a
-    real scripting language to solve build problems
+    real scripting language to solve difficult build problems
   - a modular architecture allows the SCons Build Engine to be
     embedded in other Python software
-  - a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
-    everything built
   - the ability to scan files for implicit dependencies (#include files);
-  - improved parallel build (-j) support
-  - use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has changed
+  - improved parallel build (-j) support that provides consistent
+    build speedup regardless of source tree layout
+  - use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has really changed; no
+    need to "touch" files to fool make that something is up-to-date
   - easily extensible through user-defined Builder and Scanner objects
   - build actions can be Python code, as well as external commands
