One solution is, if the file exists *at all*, it must be complete.
Can we make an
action list operate atomically?  Can the target file be deleted if any
of the actions
necessary to complete it fail?

I've posted this question on Stack Overflow, because SCons thankfully does get
a fair amount of attention there!
