I've found a discussion on the Apache mailing-list where the author,
Martin Pool seems to ack that this is ok to include his code in GPL'ed
code or even to relicense it :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/10/msg00016.html

Also maybe we could use glibc's strverscmp instead, but am not sure of
its portability ?
