I'll try to be more precise...

Well, libmetalink.pc might be enough for configure to detect
libmetalink version. But if configure doesn't locate libmetalink.pc
then libmetalink should not be used in that build.

For other build systems libmetalink.pc certainly isn't enough. For
reasons you perfectly understand libmetalink should not be used in
curl without checking its version. Preferably at run-time given that
it might be used as a shared library.
