so, what you want, is simply something like ...
$ pkg-config --libs foo
-L/path/to -lfoo
$ pkg-config --libs-libtool foo
/path/to/libfoo.la
$ pkg-config --libs bar
-L/path/to -lbar -L/path/to -lfoo
$ pkg-config --libs-libtool bar
/path/to/libbar.la
where libbar depends on libfoo?
if so, then write the patch and give it to the pkg-config folks.
I can't imagine that you'd have the time to reimplement pkg-config,
but not the time to patch it.
