A general observation: I would find it very useful if the User's Guide
contained more cross-references, in particular to the API reference.
That would help clarify the exact meaning of the terms used, and help
the user narrow down on specific questions that aren't already answered
in the visited section. (Another thing that would be useful in that
context would be a search widget.)

What I found most lacking in the docs was a chapter on general concepts
(or perhaps a glossary explaining common terms), to allow users to get
into the mindset of SCons more easily.

How is the documentation built right now ?

(Trying to check out the source tree leads me to the "clone" menu item
(https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons#clone) which doesn't appear to point
to any existing anchor.)


Thanks,
        Stefan
