+Notes on scons for autotools users
+
+The scons build process works in a different way than configure.  It runs
+in one step, checking your configuration amnd building, rather than (as
+autotools does) generating makefiles to be run later.  So not all autotools
+options have exact scons equivalents.  
+
+But here is a translation key, autotools configure options on the left
+and scons command-line options on the right.  Defaults are given in square
+brackets, and are the same as those for corresponding configure options.  
+Configure options with no scons equivalents are marked N/A
+
