Some top-level SConscript that exports env so that other SConscripts can share common path flags:

	env.Append(LIBPATH = [os.path.join('#', Dir('.').path)])

	Export('env')

Library SConscript:

	Import('env')

	env.StaticLibrary('alias', files)

Other SConscript:

	Import('env')

	env.Program(files, LIBS=['alias'])

Then let SCons itself worry about how to find libalias and arrange the dependencies.  This works--try it!
