I have a variety of bits and pieces relating to supporting
prefix/bindir/libdir etc. processing using defaults, config files,
environment variables, command line arguments for installing which I
have never found time/energy to form up into a properly structured
SCons support package.

It may be that others have something as well, perhaps better than what
I have. In any event if there was a project for adding such extensions
to SCons so that there was a group of people working on things, I would
be happy to contribute.

I will check out this repository over the weekend.
