Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the feedback. Is the feature-based checking something that we can 
push to the next release?

We are already using the pkg-config version-check method for other 
libraries/features in the meson.build file:
* libxdp >= v1.2.2 # earliest compatible libxdp release
* libbpf >= v0.7.0 # bpf_object__* functions
* libbpf >= v0.2.0 # shared umem feature

If we change to your suggested method I think we should change them all in one 
patch. IMO it's probably too close to the release to change them all right now. 
What do you think?

Thanks,
Ciara
