You do not really have to check for pkg-config, as it's part of
devel-core, so it's always available. If you really want to check, you
could add something like:

AC_PATH_PROG(PKG_CONFIG, pkg-config)
if test ! -x "$PKG_CONFIG" ; then
   AC_MSG_ERROR([
*** You need pkg-config. Get it from
*** <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.])
fi
AC_SUBST(PKG_CONFIG)

No, feel free to install it anyway, that can be useful in other cases as
well.

Any probably it could be a .pc.in file, so that the version and the
prefix is auto-generated. :)

Thanks.

(I want to apply the pkg-config patch first, then I can apply the vala
one, given that the later depends on the previous one.)
