[Scons-users] generate alias list with descriptions

[Philipp Kraus]

Thanks that works well. I have added a dictionary to the env with this 
structure
{ "aliasname" : "alias description" }
So I add in my build scripts

env["aliasdefinition"]["aliasname"] = "some description"
env.Alias("aliasname", …)

After the GetOption I read if exists the dictionary and add within the 
for the description
