all of GNOME is now using pkg-config for this purpose.

pkg-config doesn't do that. its an almost impossible task unless you
rely on the package authors to be reasonable and sensible; if you do
that, then you don't need to do this anyway.

pkg-config not only handles this, but even handles using packages that
are not yet even installed (merely built).
