+.SH SYSTEM-SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR
+SCons and its configuration files are very portable,
+due largely to its implementation in Python.
+There are, however, a few portability
+issues waiting to trap the unwary.
+.SS .C file suffix
+SCons handles the upper-case
+.B .C
+file suffix differently,
+depending on the capabilities of
+the underlying system.
+On a case-sensitive system
+such as Linux or UNIX,
+SCons treats a file with a 
+.B .C
+suffix as a C++ source file.
+On a case-insensitive system
+such as Windows,
+SCons treats a file with a 
+.B .C
+suffix as a C source file.
+.SS .F file suffix
+SCons handles the upper-case
+.B .F
+file suffix differently,
+depending on the capabilities of
+the underlying system.
+On a case-sensitive system
+such as Linux or UNIX,
+SCons treats a file with a 
+.B .F
+suffix as a Fortran source file
+that is to be first run through
+the standard C preprocessor.
+On a case-insensitive system
+such as Windows,
+SCons treats a file with a 
+.B .F
+suffix as a Fortran source file that should
+.I not
+be run through the C preprocessor.
+.SS WIN32:  Cygwin Tools and Cygwin Python vs. Windows Pythons
+Cygwin supplies a set of tools and utilities
+that let users work on a
+Windows system using a more POSIX-like environment.
+The Cygwin tools, including Cygwin Python,
+do this, in part,
+by sharing an ability to interpret UNIX-like path names.
+For example, the Cygwin tools
+will internally translate a Cygwin path name
+like /cygdrive/c/mydir
+to an equivalent Windows pathname
+of C:/mydir (equivalent to C:\\mydir).
+
+Versions of Python
+that are built for native Windows execution,
+such as the python.org and ActiveState versions,
+do not have the Cygwin path name semantics.
+This means that using a native Windows version of Python
+to build compiled programs using Cygwin tools
+(such as gcc, bison, and flex)
+may yield unpredictable results.
+"Mixing and matching" in this way
+can be made to work,
+but it requires careful attention to the use of path names
+in your SConscript files.
+
+In practice, users can sidestep
+the issue by adopting the following rules:
+When using gcc,
+use the Cygwin-supplied Python interpreter
+to run SCons;
+when using Microsoft Visual C/C++
+(or some other Windows compiler)
+use the python.org or ActiveState version of Python
+to run SCons.
+.SS WIN32:  scons.bat file
+On WIN32 systems,
+SCons is executed via a wrapper
+.B scons.bat
+file.
+This has (at least) two ramifications:
+
+First, Windows command-line users
+that want to use variable assignment
+on the command line
+may have to put double quotes
+around the assignments:
+
+.ES
+scons "FOO=BAR" "BAZ=BLEH"
+.EE
+
+Second, the Cygwin shell does not
+recognize this file as being the same
+as an
+.B scons
+command issued at the command-line prompt.
+You can work around this either by
+executing
+.B scons.bat
+from the Cygwin command line,
+or by creating a wrapper shell
+script named
+.B scons .

   This is the seventh alpha release of SCons.  Please consult the
   CHANGES.txt file for a list of specific changes since last release.
 
   Please note the following important changes since release 0.06:
 
-    - The functionality of the -U option has changed.  XXX
+    - The functionality of the -U option has changed.  It now works
+      exactly like the -u option (searches up the directory tree for an
+      SConstruct file) but, when no targets are specified on the command
+      line, it will build all targets that are defined in any SConscript
+      files in the current directory.
 
-  Please note the following important changes since release 0.05:
+      The previous functionality of this option is now available in the
+      -D option:  when no targets are specified on the command line,
+      SCons will build *all* Default() targets, not just those at or
+      below the current directory,
+
+    - The default Fortran compilation command on Windows systems now
+      uses Windows conventions (/Fo) instead of UNIX conventions (-o).
+
+    - The $SOURCE construction variable is now a synonym for
+      ${SOURCES[0]}.  This will affect you if you previously set $SOURCE
+      explicitly in a construction environment.
 
-    - Scanner functions now take four arguments.
+    - Scanner functions now take three or four arguments.  The target
+      Node is now passed in as the third argument; the fourth argument
+      is an optional SCons.Node.FS.FS object.  You will need to update
+      the interfaces of any local Scanner functions you have defined.
+
+  Please note the following important changes since release 0.05:
 
+    - Python functions as Builder actions now take Node objects, not
       strings, as arguments.  The string representation of a Node
       object is the file name, so you should change your function
       actions to use the str() built-in function to fetch the file
