It was more like a question: "If a special version is needed...". So if we can say 'at least version x.y or newer is necessary...' then is is okay. I mixed my question with the fact that special versions of autoconf/automake/libtool is necessary. When I saw the spandsp version number, I just thought "oh no, not another one".
