Unfortunately, not really. I actually need to know the path because I want
to access a file (that is neither a library nor a header) that is bundled
with the SDK. I simply want to copy that file somewhere else, but I'd
prefer to just re-use the detection that SCons performs to locate the SDK.
The PLATFORMSDKDIR would have been perfect, but it seems it is not really
an option.

Thanks for your help,
Andrew
