Here is a new patchset with all suggested changes incorporated.

Done.

Done.

I have now added a new #:scons parameter so that each package can specify the
version of SCons that is required. This is much like the #:python parameter in
the python build system. I have mentioned the #:scons parameter in the manual
as well.

For mongodb, I have passed "-g0" to scons using "CXXFLAGS=-g0". Now, the build
seems to progress farther, but I still run out of memory. Could you test the
package on your machine?
