+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "main: assume --modversion insted of --version if
+ other flags or module names are provided"
+
+This reverts commit 12a0eb124cea85586e57f33c91a1e4c73459eef6, as it
+causes pkg-config to assume --modversion is used when something as
+simple as 'pkg-config --static --version' is used, leading to a
+failure instead of the expected behavior: the one of "pkg-config
+--version".
