can somebody help me to remember why do we have a device _and_ an architecture entry in our project configuration files? This is because until recently we did not have enough information to look up architectures by device names.

I think Niklas wanted to overhaul our project.cfg format anyway to make it easier to use and to get rid of redundancies like the one you

I wanted to get rid of the SConstruct file, since for most projects the data in it is always the same (dependent on architecture). But that is not how SCons works :-(
Together with that activity I would suggest to make the different SCons Tools separable. I started this for my work because I needed to have the basic SCons tools without the remaining xpcc library. It mainly needs a few clearly defines interfaces (ways to exchange data through the environment). I can merge my changes back, but it will certainly break the current xpcc tool. If we are already changing that tool it would be a good time out to do that. Fabian
