[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 00/15] scons-utils.eclass: EAPI 6, better docs and cleanup

["Michał Górny" <mgorny@gentoo.org>]

Hello, everyone.

Here's a bunch of scons-utils.eclass patches for review. This includes
EAPI 6 support with some API changes, MAKEOPTS parsing cleanup
and improved documentation.

Fighting dev-db/mongodb lately, I've decided to explain a few common
issues with SCons in the eclass. This will hopefully help developers
noticing common QA issues like complete disrespect of CC, CXX or PATH,
turning distcc setup into a dumb OOM-killer.

EAPI 6 simplifies the eclass API and makes it more explicit.

The confusing myesconsargs variable is no longer used in EAPI 6 and all
custom arguments need to passed explicitly to each escons call. This
makes it more consistent with emake. And like emake, escons starts truly
respecting nonfatal in EAPI 6.

The use_scons function is completely banned in EAPI 6. Already since
EAPI 5, usex was a cleaner alternative. As a result, USE_SCONS_TRUE
and USE_SCONS_FALSE variables are no longer used (not that anybody used
them anyway).

Finally, the MAKEOPTS parsing and transforming has been improved a bit.
It has been redesigned so that the caching mechanism could actually
work. --jobs lacking argument are now replaced by no-of-cpus+1
(obtained using nproc or python) rather than random, fixed number.

Please review.
