I don't know that it really is going to change much, the information that is
duplicated between them is unlikely to change (the name and description are the
only things hardcoded). And the rest would require the same information in
string form (Requires.private, Libs.private). I don't have a strong opinion at
the moment one way or the other (although I started writing patches last night
to make the pkgconfig interface better), but I think the work in the end is
equal whichever path we take.
