For Catch, there was an upgrade from 1 to 2. Similarly for FFTW, the
main package uses the name FFTW, but it was FFTW3 before hand. Maybe one
could use Catch3 or Catch2v3? Then change names later once more packages
use the v3 interface?

Normally older versions are broken out into versioned legacy packages
and the main package is upgraded. Then reverse dependencies are either
upgraded or pinned as needed.

Which is what we did for catch before - there is catch1 and catch now.

The slight complication/confusion is that the upstream repository is
actually called Catch2 now though it's on v3.x but version one is in
the same repository, just on a Catch1.x branch.
