    tools/pkg-config: Replace with pkgconf · 867298cf
    Rosen Penev authored
    
    pkgconf is a newer, actively maintained implementation of pkg-config that
    supports more aspects of the pkg-config file specification and provides a
    library interface that applications can use to incorporate intelligent
    handling of pkg-config files into themselves (such as build file
    generators, IDEs, and compilers). Through its pkg-config compatibility
    interface (activated when it is run as "pkg-config"), it also can
    completely replace the original implementation.
    
    It is also lighterweight and does not require glib2, as pkg-config does.
    
    On other distros, pkgconf is symlinked to pkg-config. For simplicity here,
    it is renamed to pkg-config.real, as in the original package.
    
    Initial results have been positive. As before, pkgconf works as long as
    the pkg-config files point to the proper paths.
