[Scons-users] Dealing with headers appearing from Command builders

[Bill Deegan]

Split your building in to two:
1) downloads the package and puts in the correct dir in your tree
2) takes the downloaded package and builds it.  (at this point the emitter
or perhaps a scanner can determine the output files).
