SCons is amazingly policy-neutral, and we work to keep it that way. (It has occasionally been a bone of contention, when people have wanted us to support a particular development model by enforcing rules to exclude other styles.) In other words, there's nothing to prevent the VS style, although there's nothing that specifically "supports" it, either.
Additionally, since a lot of sources have mixed case, you would need to have some sort of check for that built into the analysis. ...
I think this is what concerns me more than anything else. I don't think SCons itself should be in the business of auto-magically converting sources. Maybe providing tools to help the user convert, but even that is pushing the envelope.

Unfortunately, that's in C++ and we're a pure Python shop. Moreover, I suspect the license is incompatible (it seems to use the GNU virus, while we use the MIT license). But it's a useful reference and I'll hang on to it; thanks.
