The never updated wiki states 0.18.1 with a pile of weird alternatives.
The real life expectations
is that Requires.private is expected to work. A recent patch to update
xserver pc file was thoroughly reviewed.

http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#RequiredTools

The version 0.22 is in the time frame of Atoconf 2.60 and Automake 1.10,
so it would perhaps
be a good time to line-up pkg-config minimum requirements as well.

http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/

I am out of context here, but if Requires.private is useless, all it
means is that the build will go on
and break somewhere else if a dependency is missing. If no dependenciy
is missing, no problems, I assume.
