and to do this you could try to write your own Pseudo-builder. Have a 
look into the User Guide (Chap. 20 "Pseudo-Builders" 
http://www.scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user/c3938.html ) and at 
the guide for writing Tools/Builders ( 
http://www.scons.org/wiki/ToolsForFools ).

Best regards,

Dirk
