RMG - Note that Porting/cmVERSION.pl should be used to check more releases
t/porting/cmp_version.t only runs Porting/cmVERSION.pl for the previous
release of the current branch, but we need to check that our versions
differ from modules in releases from other branches too. For example,
when releasing 5.20.2 we need to check against 5.18.4 too.
