[Monotone-devel] Bumping required library versions

[Zack Weinberg]

If we're thinking about bumping the major version number to 1.0, that
would seem to be the right time to bump up our minimum library
requirements as well.  We currently have backward compatibility
kludges in place for:

- automake <1.11 (current: 1.11)
- autoconf <2.64 (current: 2.64)
- botan <1.7.22 (current: 1.8.5)
- sqlite <3.3.14 (current: 3.6.17)
- boost <1.3[45] (not sure exactly) (current: 1.39)

I'd like to bump to:

automake 1.11, autoconf 2.64 (these are both brand new, but only
developers need them)

botan 1.8.2 or 1.8.3 (whichever is the earliest version that fixes the
"netsync server run as root on Linux hangs reading /proc/kmsg" bug)

sqlite 3.6.12 (sqlite.org recommends upgrading from any version older than this)

boost 1.34 or 1.35 (whichever is the oldest version that provides
boost/circular_buffer.hpp, so we can drop our bundled copy)

Thoughts?
