Just to set expectations right:

Scons looks promising, but it is still in beta and we obviously aren't 
going to switch over to it unless we find it works out well for us.  I 
don't think we should consider switching to scons for LLVM 2.0 (there is 
no user visible feature of it), but I think that having it available, in 
parallel with make, for 2.0 would be great.  This would let people get 
experience with it, etc as reid said.

I have no expectation that scons won't work out, but if/when the migration 
happens, we want to make it as gentle as possible :), and let lots of 
people play with it first.
