It may simply be that pkg-config searches PKG_CONFIG_PATH backward. I
thought I'd fixed this in CVS, but I don't see the changelog entry. In
any case, not fixed in 0.8. In pkg.c:add_search_dir(), change the
list_prepend to list_append.

I knew there had to be a reason gnome-2.0 was wrong, and you have
found it.

I just woke up, but I didn't figure out yet why your algorithm would
have different results - give me a few minutes. ;-)

Note that the reason pkg-config scans dirs first is that you have to
load all the .pc files before you have the full package list (due to
pulling in dependencies).
