Minimal versions of dependencies

Hi all,
due to failure of one of my autobuilds [1] I wonder if we have somewhere
a document which lists the minimal versions of dependencies?
I see few things mentioned in CHANGES, f.e.
"http2: requires nghttp2 0.6.0 or later"
or
"nss: the minimal supported version of NSS bumped to 3.12.x"
but didnt find which is the minimal supported version of gnutls ...
on the other side I see with 7.37.1:
"gnutls: fixed compilation against versions < 2.12.0"

granted that my autobuild uses an ancient gnutls version 2.8.1, but
shouldnt it then be rejected by configure if its not supported anymore?
(f.e. we could test for the gnutls/abstract.h header)

At least for SSL libraries it could probably be added here:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html
also this document should probably list that SSLv3 is no longer secure
and now deprecated ...

Gün.
