        FakeOptionParser

A do-nothing option parser, used for the initial OptionsParser variable.

During normal SCons operation, the OptionsParser is created right away by the main() function. Certain tests scripts however, can introspect on different Tool modules, the initialization of which can try to add a new, local option to an otherwise uninitialized OptionsParser object. This allows that introspection to happen without blowing up.
