+long_desc="
+ SCons is a software construction tool—that is, a superior alternative to the
+ classic "Make" build tool that we all know and love.
+
+ SCons is implemented as a Python script and set of modules, and SCons
+ 'configuration files' are actually executed as Python scripts. This gives
+ SCons many powerful capabilities not found in other software build tools."
