it's a "known issue" that the packaging of scons isn't very modern. and
could really benefit from someone who has knowledge of how Python
packaging happens now, since it's evolved quite a lot over the years.

look at these files to start:

bin/install_scons.py
src/setup.py
src/test_setup.py


my understanding is once packaging is done "the right way", then
uploading wheels is trivial - at least this one makes it sound so:
