I've gone the other direction - changing the "tarball" producyiions to "dist" because that's the name people expect from experience with GNU makefiles.

According to the comments at the top of the SConstruct file - 'scons dist' should create the tarball, however it fails with unknown command.

The correct command is scons tarball, so the simple remedy is to fix the comment.

However it may be more optimal to change the internals to accept dist (either as an alias for tarball or replacing the tarball instruction) as to be same parameter as standard autotools setups (as presumably the intention from the comment).
