Thank you, but those pc.in files are 100% useless without configuration 
support and not much more useful with it. Note from the bzip2 link above:

"This is a patch from Stanislav Bravec <sbrabec@suse.cz> that adds an 
autotools build environment to bzip2.  This lets libtool handle the 
construction of the shared library.
The patch also adds a bzip2.pc.in template to build data for the pkg-config 
tool."

Before even start thinking about this I need an example of a failed build 
that is fixed by the inclusion of such a pc.in file (without requiring any 
kind of autotools support).

Best regards,
Antonio.
