02_scons_args.patch

Patch from Debian. It's backwards compatible with, at least, scons 0.97.

There's a deprecation warning which may be worth to fix too:
scons: warning: The env.Copy() method is deprecated; use the env.Clone() method instead.

Thanks for your patch.  Fixed.  Still works with 0.97 and exchanged that deprecated env.Copy() with env.Clone()
