Can you point me to some example? You are talking about in a forks? I don't
want to maintain my own SCons version...

Right.
For instance. In fudepan, fbuild keeps track of the fundation's projects,
so any newcomer can download fbuild and say *fbuild targets* and it will
list the projects available to him, he can then download it with *fbuild
myproject:checkout* and run its unittests with *fbuild myproject:test* and
so on...

Does Parts works like that?
