If you're building a stable release then using the latest stable
versions of the dependencies should in general be ok. Unless they have
made an API break a newer version than what is required should work.
Gtkmm does check during configure that they are at least new enough.
It's in configure.ac, look for PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
