Ah. I read your statement backwards.

I think we're in agreement. Everyone should (really, must) link their
own dependencies explicitly, and pkgconf style config lines should
generally only list the library itself to avoid creating a situation
where the caller fails to correctly identify its dependencies and
doesn't know it. But maybe fltk intentionally does something
inadvisable here.
