Maybe you should actually take a look at pkg-config instead of listening
to people talking about it inaccurately. pkg-config does not have a
single data directory where you put in all the .pc files. you can
install them anywhere you want and point pkg-config at them with
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
