Let users require or ignore pkg-config. ``--with-pkg-config`` makes pkg-config mandatory. ``--without-pkg-config`` disables use of pkg-config. Disabling is also useful to check how configure behaves without pkg-config installed. Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <[email protected]>

Looks good. I think a note in Build Changes in What's New would be nice.

Unsetting PKG_CONFIG and friends if PKG_CONFIG is not set? Is there a missing ! in the test? Is this check needed at all; the config.cache guard is pretty strict.

It's un-declaring the variables when it's empty. This solves a corner case when going from ./configure -C --without-pkg-config to ./configure -C --with-pkg-config=yes.

Maybe you are able to find a better way...

I see. No, this is fine. I can't think of a better way.

Is it worth it listing the packages we actually use |

The pkg-config m4 macro will do that for us. |
