As mentioned on IRC, the "0.9.0" is the default minimum version
from pkg.m4, which we haven't overridden.   As far as I know,
for someone building the packages we'll distribute with pre-generated
configure scripts that should be good enough - it's only people
regenerating configure scripts who need the new versions to get
the updated pkg.m4 macro definitions.

It does look like we could require something newer with
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG([MIN-VERSION]), but we haven't explicitly set
that ourselves yet.
