These version numbers refer to the RPM versions - so 1.99.12-6 refers
to pygtk2 1.99.12, with RPM release number 6. So for non-RPM builds
just look at the first component - 1.99.12

Again, the 'download.html' page is the most accurate - it does
not list matplotlib since we no longer have that as a requirement,
the faq.html page is outdated in this respect. The version numbers
documented are the earliest that I have personally tested & verified
against. It may well run fine against even earlier versions - I just
haven't had opportunity to verify - if you find it does work against
earlier versions of particular software let me know & i'll update
the docs.
