Haven't seen Parts. Really interesting.

I think is not a matter of things that are missing in SCons as much as
things that SCons should not be doing, like checking out my (or my
organization's) project from its repo, running unittests or coverage
metrics against my project, running static analysis tools. Actions that
doesn't have to do with actually building the project but with giving new
members a faster ramp up and formalizing the organization workflow.

I'll give parts a ride to see how it overlaps with fbuild.
