Description Dan Nicholson 2015-02-21 19:17:29 UTC 
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG checks the version of pkg-config on the user's system at build time. What is not available is a way to check the version of pkg.m4 at autogen time. This would allow developers to specify a version that contains a new macro or a version where a bug in a macro was fixed.

I'm leaning towards adding PKG_PREREQ like AC_PREREQ or LT_PREREQ where you can specify this version. I'd just use the same package version as pkg-config itself and substitute it into pkg.m4 at pkg-config build time.
