To prevent overlinking when publishing shared libraries, specify internal dependencies using Requires.private and Libs.private.
Use Libs.private in icu-uc.pc for libicudata.so, and Requires.private in icu-i18n.pc, icu-io.pc, and icu-lx.pc, so that ICU internal dependencies will not be bound into clients.
The resulting *.pc files will produce the following output for icu-i18n and icu-lx, provided pkgconf has commit 78d53ea0 (2.2.0 or later) which de-duplicates multiple -L options:
./configure --enable-shared ...
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static ...
