Actually, that is a problem with scons. SCons doesn't distinguish
between 'configure' and 'build', so it performs all tests whenever
invoked. One can try to hack around this like with Dan's patch, but in
the general case scons cannot reliably work unless all the project
dependencies are installed (otherwise it might for example not clean
up some optional targets because some dependency was missing).
