I think this is a deficiency of the way we generate the error message -- 
Aspect 1.0 requires deal.II 8.0 or later. You have 7.2.0, which does not 
qualify, and so Aspect reports that it can't find deal.II.

@Timo: Can you apply the attached patch to the new git repo? I don't have a 
checked out version sitting around and probably won't get to it today or 
tomorrow either :-(

Cheers
  W.
