Ok.

None, per se.  It may make for a clearer separation of client and server 
and allow for the requirements of each to develop independently.  But 
maybe that is because I don't understand the future of these APIs :)  If 
they aren't going to change and it is not a big deal that building a 
client requires the server libs then there is no reason for this 
additional pc file (ie. the client and server will always reside on the 
same system and linkers are smart enough not to link to the unused 
server libs).
