For people who use pkg-config, I don't think it is completely unreasonable to require a version that's been around for nearly 7 years. More people will benefit for being able to link statically using pkg-config --static than will be inconvenienced by using an ancient version of it. I have never, ever seen any package that installs different versions of .pc files based on the version of pkg-config. Source distributions require that certain packages being installed and that certain minimum version levels be met. Why should pkg-config be any different in that regard? Phil
