So even if i have the latest version of gtk+ some gnome_spell can force
recompilation? And what if we have minor update and my current gtk+
version is not the latest but enough for gnome_spell - there is no need
to recompile gtk+! The only way to ensure that we realy need to update
gtk+ is to compare currently installed version and what our gnome_spell
needs.

Second argument for multibersion support in sorcery are simplifications
for users. Currently many spells ask users about installing CVS, DEVEL,
SOME_OTHER version. Consider the following beautiful future:

$ cast firefox
ok, the latest stable firefox is 2.0.8
downloading firefox-2.0.8.tar.bz2
...

$ cast --with-versions firefox
please choose the version you love:
[0] CVS (unstable)
[1] 2.5rc1 (unstable)
[2] 2.0.8 (stable)
[3] 1.5.0.7 (old)
[4] 1.0.8 (historical)
downloading firefox-2.5rc1.tar.bz2
...
