I am in agreement with this.  I believe I said this elsewhere, but I 
can't find the message right now.  What BLFS provides is instructions 
known to work with a specific version of a package.  The user is 
welcome to try the same instructions on a later version of the package. 
It will likely work, but we have not tested it and can therefore make 
no guarantees.
