I mentioned always using the latter form.  It really depends on what the 
default for commonEnvironment['X'] is initialized to in defining the 
option, but one should always test against the default set for the option. 

Values from the commandline, i.e.

scons X=0

come in as the string "0" for me, and not the number 0.  So, when testing:

if commonEnvironment['X']:

even though the intention is to set it to false, the test believes that X
is true, as python uses the number 0 to be false, and everything else to be
true.  

So, that is why I recommended that when testing against the 
configuration options, one should test "if still set to the default 
option" or "if not set to the default option" as that seems the best way 
to me to ensure the desired result is achieved.
