This assumes pkg-config works. Which on Linux systems is mostly but not
always true, and on Solaris, Windows and FreeBSD usually is not at all
the case.
And a broken pkg-config leads to even more complicated problems because
it is much harder to find out what is going on without direct access to
the problematic PC.
