All env.BLAH's return a list of Node's.
so:
libs=env.SharedLibrary('blah',[sources])
On windows will return a list with more than one Nodes.
Now you could iterate through that list and get the file names and 
install the .dll one place and the .dll.a another place, or you could 
just tell SCons to install the .dll from the target dir of the 
SharedLibrary() to /bin and the .dll.a to /lib as such: (UGH.. you 
snipped the meat of the message.. please don't do that).


foo = env.SharedLibrary (target = "foo", source = ["foo.c"], SHLIBPREFIX 
= 'lib', LIBSUFFIX='.dll.a')
env.Install('/bin','libfoo.dll')
env.Install('/lib','libfoo.dll.a')

SCons will then connect the dots. (change the second arguments of the 
installs to match the directory you're building them into via your 
SharedLibrary().
