Subject: Re:  warn during "make" if module versions are too low

Apologies if this is a second reply.  Webmail bombed while I was trying to 
post.)

> Question, do we want to warn on less or more modules?  Razor? Net::SMTP?
> Mail::SPF::Query? IP::Country::Fast? anything else?

Suggested answer from user's viewpoint:

If the product won't run out of the box with all options enabled without a 
particular module or particular version of the module, then Make should 
probably warn about it just to give the user a hint and save an hour or two 
digging to find the obvious error.  For optional parts like net tests you could 
do a header line of "If using Net tests you will need:\n" followed by a 
slightly indented list of the requsite modules/versions.

This is only talking about standard SA. If you are running 
JollyGreenGiantMilter-2v3 to interface to SA, whatever you need for that is 
your worry, not SA's worry.  (Although if it is a really bog-standard 
configuration and you happen to KNOW that what worked on 2.64 won't work on 3.0 
without an upgrade, it would be real polite to include a line about that.  
Optional, but real polite.)

I think I'd probably suggest that these messages/warnings come out at the very 
end of the make, so they will maybe still be on the terminal screen.  :-)
