Hi,

right, I had actually quite stable implementation of such stuff (and
more), and some time ago I started to split it into smaller pieces to
give it better reusability.

I have two projects ATM that may interest you:

	https://github.com/ptomulik/scons-arguments

which is a "generic" implementation of CLI arguments (variables and
options, which are treated seamlesly). The clue is that these
commandline options/variables support substitutions, such than a CLI
variable may refer another one. There also few other features. All the
stuff is based on existing SCons functionality.

	https://github.com/ptomulik/scons-gnu-arguments

which contains predefined GNU variables. This package should be used
together with scons-arguments.

ARAIR, last time I was working on unit tests, but they look pretty
complete (at least looking at coverage). I planned to discuss here a
possibility of inclusion of one or both packages to scons core, but for
some reason didn't do this yet. Perhaps, because I didn't put effort
into converting my current documentation (in docbook) to be usable in
SCons (a help would be appreciated here).

Best Regards!
