To me, it could be awesome to have a standard way to let the end user
add options like --with-myLib=xxx, or flags such as LDFLAGS and so on
(à la autotools!)

I really like scons, and this lack of uniformity is the only thing
that prevent me from using it more than I currently do.
Fixing it could remove that fear that an end user tells me "Hey, I've
this special config, and I know that with autotools I just have to set
this flag, but since you use scons I don't know how you handle it
without reading your Sconscripts".

Regards,
Guillaume
