Yes, that's part of the complexity for spells. For example, we'd have
guile-1.6.1 and guile-1.5.0 (for gnucash), then GNUCash would have (in
it's DEPENDS):

depends gnucash >= 1.3.0 and <= 1.5.0 (or some similar output, but this
is the general idea).

I'm not sure if it's really worth it (I only know of, off the top of my
head, one spell which would benefit from this, my much exampled GNUCash.
;), so it may not even be worth the effort).

What do others think?
