[Scons-users] installing scons via `pip install scons` doesn't work.

[Bill Deegan]

Picking this back up.

I'm o.k. with dropping everything in existing setup.py to fix pypi install.
I've started work on creating a vanilla setup.py but I'm a newbie at this
so any help would be welcome.
Ideally we'd be able to use pip install -e against the git checkout, create
pypi packages (wheel seems to be the correct thing today).

Currently bootstrap.py add version strings to all the source files, I'm
pretty sure there's no "legal" reason to update the copyright date in each
file.

We would like to keep building the scons-local packages, but setup.py is
not really needed to do that.

Use console_scripts to build the scons, sconsign, and other scripts so it
will use the correct version of python.


thoughts?
