[sldev] where's SCons getting the compiler string

[Dana Fagerstrom]

Hmmm...  Do I even dare asking if people would like to switch to make? 
I recall seeing a "makefile" patch being offered a while back. Hey, I'm 
only asking :)

I'm now studying the differences between the 1.16.0 and 1.18.0 
SConstructs.  The cause has to be a change in that file since I have not 
changed the version of SCons on my system. If I have to I'll dive into 
the SCons source - been there and you are right, it's UGLY.

Thanks,
D
