I strongly object to this last change. When one requests the use of
pkg-config, it is because code depending on it needs to access some
headers in paths that pkg-config returns, and ignoring that pkg-config
is not installed or returned an error will only lead to mysterious
errors later, typically unknown types or macros, so please revert commit
