| aehm, what hell of ignore list ?!

It currently removes /usr/include from the list of -I-ed files:

: tfheen at thosu ~ > cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xpm.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: Xpm
Description: X Pixmap Library
Version: 3.5.2
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXpm -lX11 -ldl
Cflags: -I${includedir}

I disagree.  pkg-config should DTRT, since what's a system path on one
system might not be it on another system.
