Exactly. The point of pkgconfig is to make things like this (using  
modules installed in various places) easy by encapsulating the build  
parameters behind a well-known abstraction. Not utilizing it sort of  
defeats the purpose of the mechanism (as well as breaks pkgsrc's  
PREFER_NATIVE/USE_BUILTIN mechanism).
