Exactly. We simply move out the detection logic currently sitting
configure into an separte script providing the "standardized"
pkg-config interface. By default, this one is called by configure,
but if $PKG_CONFIG is set, it takes this one.
 
The changes to the configure script would be quite minimal, debugging
it would be a little bit easier, and its easily interceptable for 
those folks using non-standard installations, sysroot'ing, etc.
