[Scons-users] Is the warning about missing pywin32 extensions on parallel builds still needed?

[Bill Deegan]

Currently the pywin32 extensions are used by the code.
If it's not available I believe it disables parallel builds on win32.
I'm looking at switching the code to use subprocess, but it may take a
little bit to verify that such a change is stable.
