I'm not quite sure I understand this.  Are you saying that the 
dependency is on a specific version, not *at least* a specific version 
because the developer doesn't want to take the chance that some needed 
feature isn't backward compatible?  If not, why be so fussy?  (Please 
note that this isn't meant as a challenge; I'm sure there's a good 
reason that I'm not aware of.)
