A specification for pkg-config

[Michał Górny]

Hello,

Due to a lack of good documentation in pkg-config, I have decided to
write a small specification based mostly on its source code, available
documentation and a fair bit of common sense.

I think it's fairly complete now, and thus I'd like to get some
feedback on it. There were a few things that I was unsure about.
I tried to follow the actual behavior but whenever I thought it's not
something people should trust, I put an 'implementation-defined'
behavior (not sure if it's the most correct way of stating that).

The specification also explicitly states what I have omitted now. I'd
appreciate an opinion whether the things mentioned there should be
added and any comments relevant to them. I'd also like to know
if I missed something.

Thank you for your patience.
