The buildsystem (neither autoconf nor Meson who inherited autoconf's version checks) does not check for a particular version of most dependencies. When migrating the buildsystem to Meson, we didn't added version numbers to anything that didn't already have them. The following dependencies should be checked to determine what version we actually need:

rapidcheck
bdw-gc/boehmgc
boost
libcpuid
libseccomp
libarchive
brotli
aws-sdk-cpp
sodium
curl/libcurl
gtest
nlohmann_json

Noted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/853/comments/6d0209f1_5f689968, where we removed version checks for curl <= 7.47.

cl/1418 added a >= 8.2.6 version check for boehmgc. That's not really sufficient since really what Lix needs is "8.2.6 + coroutine patch", but there isn't a good way to version-check that at the moment :-)
