If we use strverscmp(), it will be sorted in a more reasonable way. We could copy the gnulib version on systems without glibc. Life is too short for writing configure checks by hand, though; I will add this to the end of my wish-todo list. If somebody wants to volunteer, be my guest. I'm CCing Eric in case he has suggestions that would help import the gnulib module in an easy way. -- Eduardo
