I too wish to keep both tool sets alive.

The circularity you mention is the very reason that I made my changes. Since SCons can't reliably detect which tool the user wishes to use, the user must manually tell SCons. 

In my view, there should not be two 'custom' filenames. I think my changes would have worked for you if, as my email suggested, you copied custom-msvc.py over custom.py. Did you try that? But probably, it can be loaded depending on the value of the manual 'withMinGW' option.

I don't see a problem with having a default to build the interfaces. You can drive SCons with a shell script that sets the options that you need, which is what I do to build the installer version. But it doesn't really matter which is the default.

I'll try your changes later this week, and let you know what happens.

Regards,
Mike
