patch to add --print-requires and --print-provides options

A --print-requires that is (optionally?) recursive (or is at least as recursive
as the indirect-dependencies flag for pkg-config itself) would be a great help
for me! On OS X, Fink's pkg-config is built with --enable-indirect-deps. When
I'm trying to compile something, a simple developer's note like "needs libfoo"
results in manually tracing the Requires lines to find all the headers I'm going
to need.

Any chance of incorporating this change into the mainline?  Recent versions of RPM will make use of --print-requires and --print-provides if pkg-config supports them, so for people doing packaging, it would be very nice if Nalin's patch or something similar could become part of the stock pkg-config.

Any news on this one?

This would make our life in the anjuta IDE much easier as we could track correctly which include directories are part of which package.

I am willing to update the patch to latest git if there is interest in it.

Thanks!

Looks like this got fixed a while back in commit d690466a. Please reopen if that's not the case.
