Yeah ... configure is already checking those versions, so maybe we could
make it print them out along the way? I'd been thinking of doing exactly
this just for documentation purposes, so if there's a concrete need for
it, let's get it done.

Having said that, I don't think I believe that changelog entry,
because prairiedog is doing just fine with

$ perl -MTest::More -e 'print "$Test::More::VERSION\n"'
0.8701

I have no objection to updating prairiedog to whatever new minimum
version we settle on. But if there are other buildfarm animals with
old versions, that might be a reason not to change it.
