Had a first look right now.

As far as I understood what you said about this Tool, this Builder would 
also create additional *.h files right?

Then, the problem is clear. Your Builder is missing a proper Emitter, 
telling SCons which targets exactly result from the call of the Jinja() 
method. That's why it can't make the proper connection between your 
auto-generated stuff and the rest of the DAG.

Hope this gets you going again.

Best regards,

Dirk

P.S.: And once you have the Builder working, don't forget to add it to
