I think that should be ok for now, and I don't want to make the PR more complex as this is a good step, but I believe we need more strict checks:
* also check the maximum version for python
* check versions of perl,ruby
Unfortunately, building webkit is extremely brittle and requiring exact versions is decreasing the chances on failures at build or runtime.
