so far I always tried to stay as far away from pkg-config as possible,
but if that is used by distro maintainers then we should probably
reconsider it.
I favour pkg-config too. It would make our lives a lot more simpler.
distro maintainers extremely prefer it over each package doing its own (limited
testing) in build files (i.e. configure) or using legacy xxx-config scripts.
pkg-config is way more reliable than either of those.

ok thanks for your opinions. I've added the changelog entries and
going to push the series.
I sent out a patch that squashes all the patches into a single
one. Since they're logically related, I think we should push them as a
single patch.
sorry for pushing it without explaining why. I think it still makes
sense to keep them in different patches. Each change in this series is
logically complete and the smaller patchs can be, the better it turns in
case we need to git bisect the history.
