• SCons-based, perhaps in conjunction with Toby's Python scripts on Windows to produce suitable project files. Jim has volunteered to write a Python package would would take our CMT requirements files as input and create SCons SConstruct files, using a subset of ScienceTools to try it out.
• A roll-your-own solution from Navid. He has already done some work on it. He doesn't have sufficient time to put into it at the moment, but likely would in a few weeks.

Wiki MarkupThe plan to eliminate unnecessary environment variables and define necessary ones at run time (not before) has been on hold but is being revived.

He tagged a newGlastPolicy which turns off the generation of these variables.\]

Note:  SCons 0.97 is now installed on the UW TS.

Both Jim and Navid feel it would be best to avoid parsing our current requirements files, and rather move towards utilizing SCons or the syntax for the NPMS.
