Welcome to the SCons development tree.  Here's a brief guide (not
guaranteed to be up-to-date) to what you'll find herein:

admin/
	Documentation of SCons administrative procedures.  Maybe
	other administrative stuff in the future.

build/
        This doesn't exist if you're looking at a vanilla source tree.
        This is generated as part of our build process, and it's where,
        believe it or not, we *build* everything.

Construct
        The "Makefile" for the SCons distribution.  Yes, we're using
        Cons to build its improved stepchild.  (Of course, this will
        change to an SConstruct file as soon as we have SCons to the
        point where it can handle the functionality we need...)

config
        The Aegis configuration, governing much of how we use Aegis to
        build, test, control source, etc.

etc/
        A subdirectory for miscellaneous things that we need.  Right
        now, it has copies of Python modules that we use for testing,
        and which we don't want to force people to have to install on
        their own just to help out with SCons development.

runtest.py
	Script for running our tests.  By default, this will run a
	test against the code in the local src/ tree, so you don't
	have to do a build before testing your changes.  Aegis uses
	it with an option that requires that you've done a build
	(aeb) before running tests.

src/
	Where the actual source code is kept, of course.

template/
        Template files, used by Aegis to give you a head start when you
        aenf or aent a new file.  I haven't been keeping these up to
	date...

test/
        End-to-end tests of the SCons utility itself.  These are
        separate from the individual module unit tests, which live
        side-by-side with the modules under src/.
