I'm not sure if its wise to make decicions based on version numbers.
You cant know if the user of your product has a highly patched
version of zope which whould in fact allow her to run your
product.

I'd suggest to check for existence of methods and objects
and wether they work as expected which are essential for
your product. Provide the user with appropriate error
messages if not.
