The code in the qt recipe removes everything after (and including) the
last period.  I think that's not as robust, because it fails to properly
handle a version number with more (or less) than 3 components.

srfi-1 is very widely used.  It is certainly already loaded already, so
importing it is a cheap operation.

What do you think?
