I think it depends on which OS you're running also. ld.so in Linux at 
least handles dependencies.

In Debian, it is important to not depend directly on libraries which are 
used only indirectly. Otherwise there can be problems during version 
transitions and such. That's why pkg-config (at least in Debian) doesn't 
give any indirect dependencies for shared libraries.
