Just a guess, and I haven't downloaded your repo, but many times on
Windows if people use pathnames for executables they forget to use
$EXESUFFIX so SCons thinks the build depends on 'foo' when the actual
executable is called 'foo.exe'.  Best to use the return value from the
Program() builder rather than a string name.  Hope that helps;
