I agree that a .pc file would be a good thing, and that it should reflect
the library's release version number.

libtool versioning is a sort of black art that nobody uses properly anyway,
but we need to support it in "freetype-config" for backwards compatibility

Now, would you care to contribute this .pc file to the project ?
