I'm not all that exited about spreading version requirements in the
source: we report this requirement in our README, and apparently we
already struggle to keep this information up-to-date.  So what about
squashing something like the below (assume that 7.52 will be released
by the time this patch hit mainline; if this won't be the case, we
may consider using the development version 7.51+6)? notice that this
also removes an (obsolete, at this point) comment from lock.cat.
