If you have no idea, how is SCons supposed to know? ;)

At some point you have to feed information into the system, about how 
new files get generated from your ".odl" source. In SCons this is done 
via an Emitter that parses the source file and returns the list of files 
to expect. If you'd like to work this, I can help you with it...and it's 
not that difficult at all (check http://scons.org/wiki/ToolsForFools ).
