[Scons-users] Support of the isystem option for gcc

[Dirk Bächle]

Hi Paul,

thanks a lot for following my call, and coming over to our mailing list. 
Sorry that I didn't answer earlier, but life and work demanded their 
toll the last weeks. ;)

What would be your personal preference? We could:

1.) Add this to the SCons core sources directly: This would require to 
have proper docs and tests for it ( see 
http://scons.org/wiki/DeveloperGuide/Introduction ), and we would have 
to figure out how to wrap or amend the current CCFLAGS stuff (and related).

2.) You could wrap your current source into a Tool, put it up to a 
public repository and then list it as "isystem" on our external module 
page at http://scons.org/wiki/ToolsIndex . This would mean: less 
restrictions about the package itself (it is still *good* to have docs 
and tests, but not mandatory), but users would have to download your 
Tool separately.

Best regards,

Dirk
