Changing sources of the SCons is undesirable for us. What if monkeypatch
SCons.Node.FS.File in the custom Tool definition like that:

  import sys
  import re
  from SCons.Builder import Builder
  from SCons.Environment import *

  SCons.Node.FS.File.get_text_contents = SCons.Node.FS.File.get_contents

  # ...

Is it safe to monkeypatch SCons like above?

PS. I've tested it and it seems to works.
