[petsc-dev] Compiling error with Hypre-2.11.2

[Smith, Barry F.]

   How come we don't have version checks as a matter of course for config/packages/xxx.py  we constantly get email from people using the wrong version of external packages with obscure error messages wasting their time and hours. Better that hypre.py (and others) compare the version number and exit with a nice error message when incompatible.

We could have a field called say 

  supportedversions = ['version1', 'version2',....]
