in FUNCTIONS:

version_depends{
if [[ $(installed_version $1) -lt $2 ]]; then
force_depends $1
fi
}

Then in depends:
.. $GRIMOIRE/FUNCTION
depends gtk+2
version_depends gtk+2 2.8.20


This should be all that's needed probable the -lt check needs to be
improved though...

I belive it was decided long ago that versioning would not supported
other than the multi_version spells.

There was a time when I was thinking of having such versioning as well
since then I found that it's really really a useless thing.
