You mean something like:

depends gtk+2
if installed_version gtk+2 <= 2.16 ; then
    force_depends gtk+2
fi

Yes that is what i want, but IMHO it would be better to put this code
into sorcery, not in spell.

I found this draft:
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/Versioning
That is exactly what i want! :-)
