I can check the version like this (I think):

.    if !defined(WITH_BDB_VER) 
WITH_BDB_VER= 42
.    endif
.    if (${WITH_BDB_VER} < 42)
BROKEN=   Does not run with less than db42
.    endif

But how do I know if the dependency ports are compiled with the right
version? Is this the right way of doing this or is there a better way?
