[sldev] "easybuild" branch, courtesy Kitware

[Soft]

cmake does everything Linden Lab needs at present, so signing up to
maintain another build system ourselves wouldn't be a good investment
for us. If you, or anyone, want to maintain scons on the side, we
could certainly make a home for that project in subversion. Or you
could maintain it as a patch set in JIRA the way people used to
maintain VS2005 project files.
