[Scons-users] Minimum Version for Tools

[Bill Deegan]

I'd second Thomas' answer.
Just try/except for those things you use which change.
There aren't many that are in common usage.
In general we go through a deprecation cycle for items listed in the
manpage.
Internals aren't subject to such, but will be mentioned in the CHANGES.txt
and RELEASE.txt.
