What to do about "1.2.8 or newer, but not 1.3 or later"? (Maybe that
should just be dealt with by versioning the package names themselves
(glib12:1.2.8).)

It might be useful to have PKG_CHECK_MODULES set FOO_VERSION
variables for each package.


You need to provide a way to deal with the IDL include path problem.

Should be CPPFLAGS, or if there are cases where you'll need CFLAGS,
you should separate out CPPFLAGS from CFLAGS. (For the case where you
make sure a library exists, then need to run some additional autoconf
test that will use $CPP rather than $CC.)


FYI, .pc is also used as the suffix for Oracle Pro*C (C with embedded
SQL) files.
