| And the recently discussed --print-requires/--print-provides would be
| great, too (
| http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/pkgconfig/devel/pkgconfig-0.15.0-reqprov.patch?view=markup)

The patch in Fedora CVS seems to not enable requires or
requires.private, making --print-requires useless.  Is this intentional?
:-)  After fixing this, it still seems to print duplicates:

> PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=`pwd`/check ./pkg-config --errors-to-stdout --print-errors --print-requires requires-test                        
public-dep
private-dep
public-dep

If people are going to rely on this output, I'd somewhat want it to be
--print-requires that just prints Requires and --print-requires-private
that prints the private variant.  Input appreciated on this, as I'm not
the one who'll be consuming the information.

Also, if I could have some documentation for the feature, that'd be
appreciated.
