In general, with a pkg-config-aware software package, after one
configures it with:

	./configure --prefix=/some/prefix

One then also needs to ensure that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable is set along the lines of:

	PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/some/prefix/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}

If there's a wiki page that's missing some information, please feel
free to add it. If there's missing information somewhere where you
don't have access to add it, please let me know.
