[Scons-users] Librarian tool

[Russel Winder]

I'm just checking my facts here really, but this does seem a bit whacky:

At first sight it appears that the writer of a SConscript/SConstruct has
to manually decide whether to use the mslib tool or the ar tool if not
using the default toolset.

There are generic compiler/linker tools that try to deduce/infer the
correct compiler and linker, so why isn't there a librarian tool that
does equivalent inference for librarians?

Or am I missing something so obvious I am not looking for it?
