Issue Summary
For #542940: Drush support for downloading Libraries and related issues we decided that we'll only support automated downloads for libraries for which the vendor provides a "latest stable" release download URL; e.g.
http://example.com/mylibrary/stable.tar.gz
In essence, Libraries API behaves exactly in the way it was designed for: Determine the actual version, decide whether that's supported, and if so proceed with loading/integration.
However, I could easily foresee cases in which a library's latest stable is compatible with, say, D7 only, but not D6. Easiest examples are probably PHP libraries; e.g., the latest stable might have been revamped/rewritten for PHP 5.3 (D8 only), and D7 and below need to grab an earlier version - or alternative latest stable download URL for PHP <5.3.
Thoughts, feedback, drinks?

Maybe providing "download" support for "versions" or "variants"? In the end though, it should be up to the module maintainer to define how automated downloading is handled.
<?php
// By default, get the latest in the 4.x branch.
$libraries['tinymce']['download']['url'] = 'http://tinymce.com/tinymce-4.3.tar.gz';
// Provide support for the 3.x branch though.
$libraries['tinymce']['versions']['3.8']['download']['url'] = 'http://tinymce.com/tinymce-3.8.tar.gz';
?>
Override which version is downloaded via:
drush libraries-make tinymce --version 3.8... Something along those lines?
