[Mesa-dev] [RFC-PATCH 0/2] share source lists between scons and make

[Jose Fonseca]

I think this is great. Thanks for stepping up and doing this, Olv!

Concerning the implementation, my only suggestion is that it might be useful to have the ability to specify the include name (but maybe leave 'sources.mak' as default value). 

Otherwise looks great IMO. I think we should expand on this as much as we can.
