[Scons-users] parallel builds on Windows

[Damien]

We first tried ten or twelve years ago (2008?) with parallel builds in 
Scons on Windows, tried the Z7 option and all kinds of things, we wrote 
our own incremental linker scripts, none of it worked. VS 2010 couldn't 
do it, 2012 couldn't do it, 2013 couldn't do it, 2015 couldn't either 
and 2017 early versions couldn't so we just gave up. I had no idea it 
was possible now. That installer writable hack became necessary in one 
particular oil/gas corporate environment where IT had really strong 
scanning policies, even with software development. The installers would 
just die and the automated build chain would halt.
