I know that you're not guaranteeing compatibility until 1.0 so you can do what
ever you want, but just so you know, this may work on ELF systems, but it will
break compatibility on OSX, where there is no such thing as an indirect link
(pkgconfig on osx will add Requires.private to the link line).

On the other hand, it looks like there are Real Apps that are starting to use
poppler, so it would be nice if the libtool conventions were followed.  :(
