Use a docstring instead of a comment.

I was being consistent with the usage in the rest of the file which seems to use a comment @brief and no docstring.

Urgh. ):
This is why changing coding standards in mid-stream is a bad idea.

I believe that sconsUtils is special because pydoc won't run on the file and you have to use doxygen. The file can't be imported unless it is being imported by SCons.

Right. That itself doesn't preclude using docstrings, but back when I originally wrote sconsUtils I didn't know about (or Doxygen didn't support) prefixing docstrings with "!" to make it parse the markup, so I thought comments were the only way to do that.
Do not ask the Python running SCons for its sys.executable. This is needed when we do not know if the SCons python is the same python we wish to use to run the applications built by SCons.
