That's a bug in SLang, not in Jed. I really don't see, why we should
introduce a dependency for this, because Jed still works. libslang2 >
2.0.7 has other bug they might be serious, but I don't see, why we should
force to use the newest version. This makes backporting a little bit
harder.

I'm against setting this dependency, because there might be problems in
the current 2.0.7 that forces people to use an older version what we
forbid.

Bye, Jörg.
