This is good juncture at which re-focus on important goals for a

see
are:
- New build system.
I think Johannes (http://simula.no/portal_memberdata/johannr) has
started looking at this.
Unfortunately, I haven't had very much time to look at this lately.
Hopefully I will get some time later this week so I can start
working
on
this (if that is what Ola wants me to do).
Sure, this is relatively high on the priority list. As a nice side
effect, you
will become an expert SCons user, useful in lots of other projects :)
Give that a release has just been made, this could be a good moment to
bite the bullet and implement the new build system in dolfin-dev, and
accept that things will be broken for a little while. It would be good
to have the build system largely sorted out before getting stuck into
parallelisation.

Yes, it's the only way to get it tested. As long as the scons-based
DOLFIN is in a separate repository, it will be ignored by everyone.
So let's break things as quickly as possible so we can fix them.
Johannes, tell us as soon as you have something that "works" (for
you). Then everyone can take a quick look and if there are no
objections we push it to the main repository and work from there.
