Because OS vendors seem to think it is better to patch
a old version than to import the latest maintenance
release. configure then has no way to know if the
bugs are fixed or not.
While this may be a good short term strategy, I'm not
conviced that it is a good long term strategy as they
then discover all the old bugs.
