If its no trouble, go ahead with a version() method. Its nice to have in 
any case. I'd suggest your latter option of 'there be a function that 
does a compare internally so it can be accessed something like:
print "we have met the min version requirement\n" if 
$factory->at_least_version('3.4t26');'
In fact, it ought to work with '34t26b3' as well (I guess the method 
would try what it was given, and on failure, try again with the last 2 
characters removed, then try both cases again with a decimal added if 
there wasn't one).
