[Rant-cafe] Bug: task ordering is wrong when dependencies are listed separately

[Jon Willesen]

So after looking at the code I see there's an 'enhance' function  
available to do this sort of thing.  Using the enhance function to add  
the dependency works great.

The only reference to 'enhance' that I could find in the documentation  
was in rubyproject.rdoc in some example code.  Shouldn't this function  
be listed under the available functions at the top of rantfile.rdoc?   
Or is it not ready for public consumption yet?
