 From [1] which references [2], a lot of pkg-config files are doing it 
wrong. Requires should only be used in rare cases (though it appeared 
quite late in pkg-config, and most projects just didn’t update).
I believe the most common case is with GObject: the G_TYPE_CHECK_* 
macros are calling g_type_check_* functions which are libgobject-2.0.so 
symbols.

In Weston, we have no such thing, so we are safe.
