Heh. The README is wrong. We actually require 1.3.11, and I'd even prefer to
move that up to 1.3.12. I didn't do the latter because I felt that I'd need
the autoconf check before moving to something super-new.

So... with this check in hand, we should be able to require 1.3.12 :-)

Yes, it is fine, although 'sed' is even better. Combine sed to extract the
version string, and then with a code pattern like that in
build/buildcheck.sh, and you can avoid awk altogether.

Sorry 'bout that.

Can you reform the patch a bit for 1.3.12 checking and maybe try using
sed/sh to do the test? When you resubmit, please include a log message. See
the HACKING document for patch submission guides.

Thanks a bunch! I look forward to adding this test.

Cheers,
