Heads-up: Enabling generation of pkg-config requires

Just a heads-up, I'm (finally) enabling the generation of automatic 
pkg-config and libtool requires in rpm. Provides for these have been 
generated since first rpm 4.6.0 alpha hit rawhide, so with a bit of luck, 
all/most involved packages have been rebuilt since then and already have 
the needed provides for satisfying the new requires.

But if you see unsatisfied dependencies on pkgconfig(foo) and 
libtool(foo), request a rebuild of the dependant package, that's all it 
should take. Except if you happen to hit a big chain of pkg-config using 
packages that haven't been rebuilt in several months, or bugs in the 
dependency generation, or buggy pkg-config .pc files...
