What are the plans for simula-scons? If it should be a dependency for
DOLFIN, then I think it needs to be reasonably well established (having
a webpage, license, numbered releases etc). Preferably, it should come
as part of Debian... Is the plan to keep it separate from scons, or
are you trying to keep it minimal and push as much as possible into
scons?

Until DOLFIN can safely depend on simula-scons, I think we need to
include it with DOLFIN.
