+                 SCons - a software construction tool
+
+                         Version 1.2.0.d20091224
+
+
+This is an alpha release of the SCons build engine, a Python extension
+module for building software (and other files).  The SCons build engine
+manages dependencies and executes commands or Python functions to update
+out-of-date files (or other objects).
+
+
+LATEST VERSION
+==============
+
+Before going further, you can check that this package you have is
+the latest version by checking the SCons download page at:
+
+        http://www.scons.org/download.html
+
+
+ABOUT SCONS PACKAGES
+====================
+
+The complete SCons system is comprised of three separate packages:
+
+    scons
+        The scons script itself, plus the SCons build engine
+        installed into an SCons-specific library directory.
+
+    python-scons [THIS PACKAGE]
+        The SCons build engine, installed into the standard
+        Python library directory.
+
+    scons-script
+        Only the scons script itself.
+
+Depending on what you want to do with SCons, you may need to install
+additional (or other) packages:
+
+    If you just want to use scons (the script) to build software:
+
+        Do not install this package.  Install the scons package instead,
+        which contains a copy of both the script and the build engine.
+        You will not need to install any other packages.
+
+    If you do NOT want to use the scons script, but you want to use the
+    SCons build engine in other Python software:
+
+        Install this package.  You do not need to install any other
+        packages.
+
+    If you want to use the scons script AND you want to use the SCons
+    build engine in other Python software:
+
+        Install this package AND the scons package.
+
+        Note that this installs two separate copies of the build engine,
+        one (in an SCons-specific library directory) used by the scons
+        script itself and one (in the standard Python library) used by
+        other software.  This allows you the flexibility to upgrade
+        one build engine without affecting the other.
+
+    If you want the scons script and other Python software to use the
+    same version of the build engine:
+
+        Install this package AND the scons-script package.
+
+
