pkg-config files can specify library dependencies in two main ways: via -l or -L flags (e.g. -lstdc++) or via a filesystem paths. Currently, pkg-config-rs does not preserve the order between them when generating cargo commands - it prints commands for the first kind, then for the second. Some linkers are sensitive to the order in which libraries are specified, so this behavior won't work with pkg-config files in which a library specified via a path depends on a library specified via an -l flag. This commit ensures that the generated cargo commands are correctly ordered with respect to the order in which libraries are specified in the pkg-config output.

Although just fixing the order of cargo commands is sufficient for my case, there is a similar problem with |
