       This module contains some functions used by both the Alien::Build build-time and <Alien::Base> run-time
       for Alien.

   version_cmp
         $cmp = version_cmp($x, $y)

       Comparison method used by "atleast_version" in Alien::Base, "exact_version" in Alien::Base and
       "max_version" in Alien::Base. May be useful to implement custom comparisons, or for subclasses to
       overload to get different version comparison semantics than the default rules, for packages that have
       some other rules than the pkg-config behaviour.

       Should return a number less than, equal to, or greater than zero; similar in behaviour to the "<=>" and
       "cmp" operators.
