As a completely non-scons-specific comment, as I've done this kind of
thing elsewhere: make wrapper be able to "detect" which compiler driver
it's going to call by its own name, and then do that, e.g. CC=wrapc,
CXX=wrapcxx, FORTRAN=wrapf - and then the wrapper supplies the actual
driver command based on context.
