Looks interesting, applies cleanly, but I have no idea about how to
judge how effective it is (from a "patch another package and build it"
perspective, that is).

I would include it anyways -- part of making pm-utils play nicely with
everything else has to include making sure everyone else can
programmaticly play nice with us, and pkg-config intergration would
really help out in that area.
