I agree w. refactoring. Similar to my desire to refactor the  
BuildingCsound manual page.
(Would those I sent my draft to who haven't yet, please have a look at  
my suggestions and comment as necessary - there's currently nothing on  
how to do an install for OSX for example)
I think a two-tiered structure is best:
Tier 1: the SConstruct file (in parallel with SConstruct2  current  
SConstruct becomes redundant)

	All those things which are immutable across all platforms
	+ test for Platform and then include a Tier 2 file
Tier 2:
	Everything platform specific. If in doubt, put stuff here.
	It should include the following sections:
		- clean to be otionally used b4 build
		- build
		- install
