The solution is to tell *upstream* how to build and ship .pc files with
their build system.

If we start shipping .pc files no one else has, projects that use such
libraries will have only 2 choices:

 - check the .pc file and use whatever fallback code they had before to
find the correct library paths and options.
 - change nothing and keep their current code

Either way, we'll be stuck maintaining .pc files no one will be using.

Please convince upstreams stuck in the middle ages that .pc files are a
Good Thing™ that make everybody's lives easier.

Cheers,

Rémi
