Updated: scons-2.3.0-3

CYGWIN NEWS:
============
This release includes additional fixes for the Cygwin-specific
linking tool including fixes when no_import_lib=1 is defined and
fixes for versioned shared libraries.

DESCRIPTION:
============
SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a
next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved,
cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with
integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler
caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable
and faster way to build software. 

See http://www.scons.org/ for more details.

CYGWIN NOTES:
=============
Upstream does not provide good support for building DLLs for
Cygwin. SCons will build the DLL as libMODULE.dll, but will not
build an import library.

This release includes a patched linker for Cygwin that will:
 * build the DLL as cygMODULE.dll
 * create an import library using the instructions from here:
   http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html

This patched linker is only lightly tested. Please report any bugs
to the main mailing list. If you're a Python programmer, please
consider providing a patch, as the Cygwin maintainer is not a Python
programmer.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sourceware.org (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
