+1 to creating a central place for all minimum versions.

I wonder if you considered creating a folder with files like
`scripts/min_versions/gcc` containing the version string. That would
make it easier for reading from other languages or even importing them
dynamically into the documentation, thus removing even more
duplication.

Cheers,
