Some distros and users have unusual installation needs that don't
conform to the standard $libdir/pkgconfig and $datadir/pkgconfig
pathways. Help packagers support these users with the macros
PKG_INSTALLDIR and PKG_NOARCH_INSTALLDIR. These are simple macros that
provide the configure parameters --with-pkgconfigdir and
--with-noarch-pkgconfigdir to allow users to override the standard
locations.
Freedesktop #48743
It might be useful to write something like
sdkflags=$PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=sdkdir xorg-server`
in configure.ac macros. Unfortunately, this will be blocked because
'PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT' is a forbidden m4 pattern.
This patch extends the list of allowed pattern by the names of
documented pkg-config environment variables.
--exists no longer does a full depth traversal, which means we need to
pay attention to the exit status when calling pkg-config --libs and
--cflags. If those fail, we run with --cflags and --libs to get the
error message before printing it out.
Fixes Freedesktop #36039
* pkg.m4: Don't use --errors-to-stdout in pkg.m4, but rather
redirect stderr to stdout. This makes pkg.m4 with old (pre 0.15)
pkg-config look good, and it makes newer pkg-config with ancient
pkg.m4 work well. Gnome #111054

* pkg.m4: Get rid of caching again. This breaks too much stuff,
and pkg-config doesn't take much time to run.

* pkg.m4: Add note that PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG must be called
explicitly if the first call to PKG_CHECK_MODULES might not
happen. (Debian #303211)

Improve pkg-config's configure instructure and bring it bang
up to date.
* pkg.m4: Complete rewrite.
(PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG): if PKG_CONFIG not defined, find the
pkg-config in the path or $host-pkg-config if cross-compiling,
check that is of at least version 0.9.0 or one given.
(_PKG_CONFIG): internal macro to call pkg-config.
(PKG_CHECK_MODULES): same semantics as the previous incarnation
except you can prevent pkg-config from being called by defining
xxx_CFLAGS and xxx_LIBS yourself, additionally all results are
cached.
* README, pkg-config.1: Adjust documentation to match.

* pkg.m4: split macro into two parts. The check for presence of
pkg-config is now in a helper macro. The main PKG_CHECK_MODULES
macro now AC_REQUIRES() it, so that the pkg-config check is only
performed once.
Also update quoting to match current practices.

it, doh

* main.c: add --errors-to-stdout so you can capture them with backticks
* pkg.m4: set FOO_PKG_ERRORS after a failed check, so people can
print the errors.
