Odd version comparison

| I've just noticed that pkg-config (in fact the function rpmvercmp() in
| pkg.c) compares the version numbers in a quite strange (and sometimes
| dangerous) way.

| Is this behavior intentional?

Not really; I believe it's from RPM's version comparison function.  I'd
be fine with us just using ASCII ordering on each version number
component (which are separated by «.») or something similar to that.

Thoughts?
