Yes it's a good idea. Having a look at what exists currently in PMA, in 
main.php we do some tests and emit warnings. I would not use the setup 
script for this kind of warnings, as not everyone use this scripts.

In main.php we have specific messages like $strPHP40203 and more general 
messages used like this:

echo '<div class="warning">' . sprintf($strUpgrade, 'PHP', '4.1.0') . 
'</div>' . "\n";

Instead of the functions you suggested, we could call, at the start of 
each feature (say, export), a generic function

PMA_checkVersion($component, $minimum_version, $bug_number)

with the generic message you suggested.
