Recent Autoconf has m4_version_compare for a comparison at autoconf run time, and AS_VERSION_COMPARE for one at configure run time. gnulib has a module strverscmp for C comparison code. IIRC there were slight, probably unintended differences in the comparison algorithms; or at least, some bugs have been fixed in the not too distant past. HTH.
