Presumeably though it is a requirement for the RM. Given that my build
machines don't have this release and Debian stable doesn't have this
release, I'd like to avoid having to add one more version for the RM to
worry about upgrading their machine to. Granted this code isn't near a
release. I guess I'm not seeing the specific need for 0.12.

Not sure what you're refering to. Guess you're refering to neon. Which
the "requirement" for 0.24.5 should be reverted based on a conversation
that happened off-list with Joe Orton. We "need" 0.24.5 for a security
issue, but many distros patch for security issues. So we shouldn't have
configure looking for 0.24.5, we should simply recommend 0.24.5 in our
documentation. So I'll probably be reverting that configure change
soon.

I don't have any specific experience with the fuzzy matching stuff. I'm
just not thrilled with adding more requirements...
