| | One solution would be for pkg-config to supply a pkg-config.pc file,
| | enabling every .pc to handle its own pkg-config version compatibility
| | requirements. For example, libbar.pc would list:
| |   Requires: pkg-config >= 0.18
| 
| This has been suggested a few times before for various reasons, I just
| haven't gotten around to actually doing anything about it, though.

This has now been implemented.  Note that pkg-config doesn't actually
ship a pkg-config.pc file, it's compiled in to pkg-config itself.
