possible is everything ;)
but... the "call to configure only if necessary" is the hard part
to implement since it involves comparing the given and cached
options.

i'd rather change the eclipse/scons workflow, if possible.
wouldn't it be as simple as editing the options.cache by hand and
then call "scons" without args from the ide?
