+    &SCons; offers a robust and feature-rich design for an SC-build
+    tool.  With a Build Engine based on the proven design of
+    the &Cons; utility, it offers increased simplification of the
+    user interface for unsophisticated users with the addition
+    of the "do-the-right-thing" <function>env.Make</function>
+    method, increased flexibility for sophisticated users with the
+    addition of &Builder; and &Scanner; objects, a mechanism to
+    allow tool-masters (and users) to share working construction
+    environments, and embeddability to provide reliable dependency
+    management in a variety of environments and interfaces.
