You can't tell without examining the trunk at that revision. E.g. it
might depend on APIs that weren't in the platform for 2.18 but only for
2.20.

In the case of gucharmap, examining the branches and tags in svn leads
me to believe that we should use the 2-16 branch (gucharmap 1.8.x) for
2.18 too.
