Comment (by nacin):

 Added a 3.8.1 version, thanks. Though this goes back forever.

 I don't think we should change http://php.net/version_compare behavior. In
 fact, we don't need to: You can use a fairly esoteric feature of
 version_compare(), "pl" or "p", which stands for "patch". On how you'd use
 it: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18492111.
