It's just used in more cases than before, with fallback to non-pkg-config in most cases. I think all dependencies besides perl can use pkg-config. So all that changes compared to AC is that you might not need to pass extra include/lib paths for some dependencies that needed it before, if you set/pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Greetings, Andres Freund
