I'm a little slow, there's Jinja and Ninja, and people have asked about
both recently so I didn't pay attention to this one.  This note is only
to point out someone has built a tool which aids in the use of Jinja for
templating, it's on the SCons tool page, but more directly it's here -
no idea if this helps or not:
