Jeff, what does "pkg-config --version" report on the system where you 
saw that it worked OK in either order?  It might either be that

	1) they changed pkg-config to require a particular order in a version 
later than the one you have

or

	2) they changed pkg-config not to require a particular order in a 
version earlier than the one you have.

In either case, always using the order that some versions of pkg-config 
require will work with versions that require that order and versions 
that don't, while using the other order will only work with versions of 
pkg-config that don't require a particular order, so we should check in 
the patch regardless.
