I think there should be a big, fat warning in the release notes. 
Something like:

WARNING: Upgrading to version X.Y requires a full dump/restore cycle. 
Please download the appropriate dump-utility from http://postgresql.org/dumputils/X.Y/ 
and make a copy of your database before installing the new version X.Y.


And then link to a dir with the statically linked pg_dump (and -all) for 
the most common platforms. I must admit, I did not know that one should 
use the new tool in a cyclus (and I have used Pg almost exclusively 
since 7.0). That could also be the place to add a line about version S.T 
is now considered obsolete and unsupported.
