[Scons-users] dynamic flow handling

[Bill Deegan]

Once you add the dependencies to the tree you cannot modify it.
(well at least the means to do so would be reaching way into the code and
not supported or advised)

You need to give us a concrete example of what you mean by "code that runs
some form of detection"
