Hi,

In ORBit-2.0.pc.in, one can read

Requires: glib-2.0 gmodule-no-export-2.0 gthread-2.0

But when reading ORBit headers, one can't find a single mention of gmodule or gthread. ORBit itself uses them, but it shouldn't expose them externally (since that imposes spurious dependencies). The dependencies should hence be split into

Requires: glib-2.0
Requires.private: gmodule-no-export-2.0 gthread-2.0

fair enough for gmodule, I think (in the long distant past) that gthread was necessary to be linked by the ultimate application in order to get -pthread or -lpthread linked, otherwise everything went badly wrong. No idea if that's still the case or not.

I added Requires-private with gmodule now. Leaving the thread stuff alone since it sounds like that might break stuff.
