[arch-dev-public] SCons major revision update

Currently extra/scons-1.3.0-1 is marked out-of-date, which is probably
due to the fact that since last month, version 2 has become the stable
branch upstream. From http://www.scons.org:

"14 June 2010
SCons production release 2.0.0.final.0 is now available from the
download page at SourceForge. This is the production release for the
2.0 series. The 2.0 series drops support for all pre-2.4 versions of
Python. See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes in the
release."

Version 1 is still supported, as evidenced by the development branch updates:

"26 June 2010
SCons release 1.3.0.d20100626 is now available from the download page
at SourceForge. Fix the ability to append to default $*FLAGS values
(which are implemented as CLVar instances) in a copied construction
environment without affecting the original construction environment's
value. See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes in the
release."

The following are the packages that makedepend on scons:

== extra ==
hydrogen
ardour
linuxdcpp

== community ==
ffmpeg2theora
oregano
btanks
kleansweep
pingus
dangerdeep
fceux
mypaint
glob2

We can either update it to version 2 or move version 1 to a scons1
package. If there are no objections and build issues, I'll go ahead
with the former, as it doesn't appear to be that popular to warrant
both major branches in the repos.
