Created attachment 36540 [details] [review]
Allow documented environment variables in autoconf

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.
