[TYPO3-ect] Proposal: TER should check Typo3 version requirements

Hello,

I have a minor suggestion concerning the Typo3 Extension Repository.
The Problem that spawned this suggestion is the following:
Sadly the server of my main client does not support Typo3 4.0 (no zlib in php -> no TER access).
The problem is: many extensions have no information about which version of the extension needs which version of Typo3 to work properly. Sometimes I found out by digging through the Changelog, but most of the time I need to rely on trial'n'error.

You may say "Just compile a new PHP" or "Just move to a better hoster". But in this case, I don't have that choice (not my server).
If I am the only one with that problem, forget my proposal. But if I am not...

The Proposal:
Let the Developers add a information which version of Typo3 is required to run which version of their extension.
The TER can then use that info to show only versions of extensions that run with the version of Typo3 in use.

Well, thats the basic idea. 
Tell me what you think!

Cheers
Fabian Langheim
