Description Brett Nash 2005-10-17 17:20:06 UTC 
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
              Replaces the default pkg-config search directory.

It actually sets the pkg-config search PATH and overries and PKG_CONFIG_PATH if
set.  (The second is a little surprising, but makes sense, the first is a
noticable difference).

This is *very* misleading. I spent an hour trying to understand why it can't
find a package. I set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to win32 pkgconfig dir, and
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to whatever pkgconfig dirs I have, so I supposed
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR will take care of not searching /usr/lib/pkgconfig *and*
PKG_CONFIG_PATH will be searched as usual.
