If you can live with using CMake as the build system, then we could
probably implement the following compromise:

- Fix the versioning CMake such that each module reports which version
of its own it is compatible with.
- (Optional) Add a switch to dunecontrol, to skip version checking using
pkg-config only in dunecontrol.

Then using th autotools everything would be as it was. Using Cmake
with dunecontrol (but without the switch), too. But when using CMake
either without dunecontrol or using the switch one could mix versions.
