I do not think we have any defined sections in SConstruct/SConscript where 
this should be done. We have used checkVersion to check for the swig version 
some years ago... It is still there as out-commented code in the SConscript 
file.

I think the function just compare a version string with another handed version 
string, where the numbers are delimited by '.'. 

Aren't there any version checks done in the pkg-config generator files?
