There are many things wrong with this first patch.

1.  it makes no attempt to be x-platform (which is the whole point of using
scons).  I need to find a way to add the various different platform files for
the different platforms.  Scons knows how to do this, I just haven't learned
enough about scons yet. :)

2.  The resulting file is libJavaScriptCore.dylib.  Scons doesn't know much
about frameworks.  There are some 3rd party folks who have done some
bundle-related hacks (http://www.scons.org/wiki/MacOSX), but if we want to
build frameworks with scons we'll have to write a new scons builder I think.

3.  I build in JavaScriptCore/ directly instead of using WebKitBuild or
whatever directory the user has configured.  Our configuration system for
Chromium will be different (Chromium ideally will re-use this SConscript file
but won't use the SConstruct file.)  Likewise the DerivedSources should be in
whatever build directory instead of right in the source directory.

Otherwise SCons wasn't nearly as scary as it could have been. :)
