I was quite sure I had seen something in the SCons user guide about it packaging, which included RPM and MSI for package types. I didn't read those sections so is it just preparing it for being built by those systems?

Scons itself can't build installers. You'll need to use something like
NSIS for this, though you can certainly trigger an NSIS build from
scons, make or whatever.

My interest in SCONS is primarily because it might help in building an
installer for BrailleBlaster on Windows. We need to make it easy for
potential users to look at. Not all of them understnd the present
installation instructions.

SCONS might be a possibility for liblouis and liblouisutdml in the
future. For now, the autotools files are set up and work nicely on Linux
and Mac. My Windows build procedures actually look at the Makefile.am's
to see what modules to include and at the header files.
