Yes, it would be nice to be able to easily check >2.1. GNU expr seems to
handle this ok:

  $ expr 2.2 '>' 2.1
  1
  $ expr 2.0 '>' 2.1
  0

but POSIX seems to mention only integers and string comparison (though
if all are of the form "x.y", string comparison works). I have no idea
how portable this is.
