Comment (by knarf):

 Version check in bash is not build-in, and relying on sort (-V) brings up
 the issue that some implementation of sort might not offer that option.
 The best pure bash solution I could find quickly is:

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4023830/bash-how-compare-two-strings-
 in-version-format

 Given the length of that function, and it's general usefulness I wonder if
 we couldn't make this available to configure scripts from within Cactus.
