[Scons-users] Builder Arguments: **kwargs?

[John Galbraith]

Gary, thanks for the quick response.

So from the docs, it looks as though AddMethod offers a way to 
arbitrarily modify the "source" and "target" arguments, and call 
multiple builders together.  But it still cannot actually modify the 
behavior of the ultimate action itself.

I am thinking about adding custom builders on the fly, which are 
actually recently constructed callable objects (with constructor 
arguments!) instead of simple functions.  Might be able to get this to 
look good using decorators, even.
