The run_test shell function was running pkg-config with arguments stored
in an environment variable. This has problems when trying to pass shell
special characters with the proper escaping. Instead, pass the arguments
to the test where they can maintain correct formatting through use of
the special variable "$@".
By specifying the pkg-config to use for testing from make, we can easily
control its path and add the .exe extension for Windows. It also allows
easy testing of another pkg-config from make:
make check TESTS_PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config
If only PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set when running the tests, we'll still pick
up packages from the system default path. By overriding that with
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR and unsetting PKG_CONFIG_PATH, the path is forced to
the check directory.
* check/common, check/config.sh.in, check/Makefile.am,
configure.in: Make it possible to check for configure variables in
the check scripts. So far, only direct/indirect is exposed.
