Syntax for version string testing

[Paweł Różański]

Hi

I'm preparing a lib release. The question is doest pkg-config
--atleast-version works for some of rc or pre notation ? eg

1.0.0 >= 1.0rc0

Is there any way to express version 'before' 1.0.0 but not by 0.9.9 string?

Sorry for such a lame question, but i couldn't find the syntax on
http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/ neither in man pkg-config.

Thanks

Take care,
