Yes, that will be the prefered way. Right now, simula-scons is located
at svn.simula.no, but I don't mind moving it over to fenics.org/hg for
instance.

Also, Johannes will create a debian package for simula-scons, so in
the near future we can probably remove simula-scons from the dolfin
tree, and just let dolfin depend on simula-scons.

For now, ask one of us to make changes.
