Incorrect question. Correct is: why pkg-config must have own copy popt and
glib files and why it can't use system installed libraries ? and both
patches is correct answer for this qustion :)

Very similar qustion can be given for example for ORBit ("ansver" is on
http://cvs.pld.org.pl/SOURCES/ORBit-use_system_popt.patch).
Also gnome-libs have own copy popt files.
