Description James Henstridge 2005-04-11 20:01:35 UTC 
In pkg-config <= 0.15.0, the PKG_CHECK_MODULES() autoconf macro would evaluate
its second argument.

In pkg-config 0.16.0, it evaluates it in some places, and quoted in others. 
Some Gnome modules such as GTK+ rely on this argument being evaluated, so break
with the new release.

The relevant Gnome bug for this is:

Here's a patch that makes sure the second argument is evaluated in all
instances, which fixes GTK's configure script.
