scons distinguishes between options and additional arguments. Options are 
cached while the other arguments aren't, which makes options perfect to store 
settings generally set like prefix/enabled devices/optimization-state/debug 
while destdir is best used as not-cached argument as it is only used during 
automated package creation. The downside is that the options get the automated 
documentation while arguments don't.
And given the fact that there are other things concerning destdir-builds that 
complain during destdir-build and only looking at the SConstruct-file itself 
tells you what you need to do yourself and what to do to not get the 
complaints...

Have fun,

Arnold
