Yup - I noticed that when I added the minimum version auto-fu check
today. I'm not sure how critical it is to do that run-time check at
configure-time - I know that APR does it for BDB, but...

If we decide not to do the proposed backport, then 1.6.x might
actually need a *maximum* version check. But, I'd rather just make
1.6.x work with a current serf instead...and probably force Subversion
to require 0.6.2/0.7.0 (depending upon what Greg rolls soon) as
0.4.0-0.6.1 won't work with 1.6.x, but 0.3.1 might.

My head hurts. =) -- justin
