That was never meant as an argument.

Actually, I do not have any strong feelings about version
dependencies, despite that they are nearly always broken (just take
dune-grid 1.0 and which demands for dune-common >=1.0 LOL) and a lot
of work.

To me the CMake version systems makes some sense. There, the packages
export which to which of their own versions they are compatible. Kind
of contradicts the pkg-config stuff, though.
