Yes, but first we have to decide, what should the patch do? Imho that patch should not block execution at all, only warn for a possile mismatch of version numbers. The point is, until we have a firm spec how all applications should emit their version nummers over de command line, there will not be a stable solution for version number comparison. I have written a script which does a reasonable job for in most situations for version numbers up to three level version numbers. However, this is quite lengthy, and still is not bullitproof. I think this is not adequate for this situation. If you agree with me that a simple version comparison with a two digit number, emmiting a warning only is sufficient in this case i can make the patch.
