Hmm I'm not familiar with the pkgconfig stuff. I'm not sure what the 
Version:
field is used for. If it's used to specify a shared lib revision, then 
it
doesn't make sense on static arches.
If it's used to specify an external version of the package, then 
XFree86 is
wrong in using the shared library revision here.
