Would it make sense to allow the user to set common Pre/Post actions that would be applied to all targets of certain builders?
For example, in my SConstruct I set up a AddPreAction () that echoes the name of the target. This is to provide more context around error messages in the build logs.
Hmm... I guess you might be able to get this effect if your builder was implemented via a generator function, it could return a list of actions with the appropriate pre-action prepended to the list and the post-action appended. Although that would only cover things for user-defined builders.

Bug party triage.
In recent times, we've seen several cases where cross/embedded builds want to postprocess all the executables they produce (e.g. strip).
Yes, though it might make better sense to allow an API to access the Actions for a given source file type -> target file type?
