you're not going to find me objecting too loudly, since my SConstruct
dumps both the scons version and python version, so they'll be right
there in the build log (our ci system runs many different builds on many
different platforms, meaning it's useful info when something goes wrong
- though we've finally got the Ubuntu 12.04 builders running scons 2.1
or some such dumped out of the system, getting us out of one set of
headaches)
