Add the warning about the regression in 1.3 that's carried over into 2.0.
Since the problem has a viable workaround, it was not deemed worth delaying the 2.0 release.

since last release. This announcement highlights only the important
changes.
+ IMPORTANT: In 1.3.0 and 2.0.0, explicit dependencies (configured via
+ the Depends() call) are ignored for any nodes that do not have builders.
+ This known issue[1] will typically only happen if you explicitly
+ configure a builder call to create multiple output files, some of which
+ are "hidden" from SCons by not being listed in the targets list, and then
+ use Depends() to establish an explicit dependency on a "hidden" file.
+
+ [1] See http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2647 for details.
