That'd be nice to have, but I'm not sure we have the resources to provide an accurate list and keep it up to date. All the other projects I've built never provide such info, you have to "discover" that by building and getting error messages that tell you what minimal version is required. But if someone wants to arrange such a list (in INSTALL, I think?), it would be very welcome.
