- Action._subproc() can now be used as a python context manager to ensure that the
POpen object is properly closed.

+- SCons help (-H) no longer prints the "ignored for compatibility" options
+ to save some space (these are still listed in the manpage).
- The change to "content" and "content-timestamp" Decider names is reflected
in the User Guide as well, since the hash function may be other than md5
(tidying up from earlier change)
-- The SCONS_CACHE_MSVC_CONFIG behavior changes slightly: will now do a
- sanity check to hopefully regenerate if the compiler version has changed,
- rather than fail; the default filename now has a .json suffix.
+- If SCONS_CACHE_MSVC_CONFIG is used, it will now attempt a sanity check for
+ the cached compiler information, and regenerate the information
+ if needed, rather than just failing after certain compiler version
+ changes have happened. The cache file can still be manually removed
+ if there are issues to force a regen. The default cache filename now
+ has a .json suffix - the contents have always been json.
