I've done this by allowing a local version of .pc/quiltrc. I'm
attaching two patches against quilt-0.48 that are related to this that
you can use if you want:

find-pc.diff
Searches up in the directory hierarchy for .pc as well as patches (so
that my quilt finds the .pc directory I made for it with
QUILT_PATCHES=../patches before it finds the patches directory one
level up)

pc-quiltrc.diff
Makes quilt read in .pc/quiltrc in addition to the original quiltrc
files. I think I changed the behavious slightly so that it would read
all of the files one after the other rather than reading only one
quiltrc file. I guess some people may not be too happy about that.

I didn't see any attached patch; did you forget to add it?
