>Description:
Dealing with FreeBSD's autotools and pkgconfig environment is a pain
when working on 3rd-party software. One of the issues is that our
pkgconfig from ports doesn't look in the default place to which 3rd
party software (built using autotools, at least) installs .pc files
(${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig). While FreeBSD's hier(7) may specify that
they should go in libdata, it's hard to expect upstream to do that for
just us (and it seems like it's not the norm for upstreams). So, I
propose that we apply the following change, which will look in
${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig after each ${prefix}/libdata/pkgconfig.
The only issue I see with it is getting .pc files out of sync between
software versions in ports vs. not, but that already happens with
3rd-party software where the default may be to install in /usr/local/
though the ports system has decided on /usr/X11R6.
Oh, and I cleaned up a couple of very minor portlint warnings.
