[PATCH] pkgconfig files should be installed to $(libdir)

[Dmitry Shatrov]

Daniel,

I looked at several other protocol modules, and all of them use
$(libdir) for their pkgconfig files.

I'm building a self-contained binary distribution which includes
several libraries from x.org, and libxtrans is the only module with
such problem. I don't add share/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and it
is fine in all cases except this one. Te disto consists of more than
100 packages, many of which use pkg-config.

Specifically, libX11 configure fails without moving xtrans.pc to
$(prefix)/lib/pkgconfig

Regards,
Dmitry
