Comment (by nickm_mobile):

 As a side note, since people are getting interested in this ticket
 again...

 The hard part isn't supporting pkg-config. The hard part is doing so while
 still working with systems that don't have pkg-config, and while keeping
 our existing search semantics working.  If we are willing to take the risk
 of making people update their build scripts and /or install pkgconfig, and
 if we're willing to rip out our library search code, this gets much
 easier.
