Looking at the status report, if I have an outdated version of a PDF tool, I see a warning about upgrading to a newer version, but it's not clear what version is recommended.

It would be helpful to show users what the minimum version is. And I think this is particularly important as we get closer to EOL of PHP 5.6 and 7.0 at the end of 2018 since users need to know which version of the tools to upgrade to.

It's a simple fix to display the min version... patch is included in the next comment.

I think this is really useful especially when there's a new major release of the tool. So for example if a person is using version 3.2 of a tool and the minimum version is 5.1, they might waste time upgrading to version 3.5 (the highest subversion in that release), then 4, and finally 5.1, but they could have saved time knowing that they should have gone to 5.1 to begin with.

This patch just changes some wording and displays the min version.
