x11/Xrender expects pkgconfig/render.pc:

 checking for render >= 0.8... Package render was not found in the
 pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `render.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'render' found

But it is not symlinked in buildlink directory.

I have render package installed with its render.pc. I guess I could
remove it because ...

I have xorg-libs installed to /usr/X11R6 directory but it doesn't have
render.pc (but does provide render).

If I remember correctly, xorg doesn't provide the render.pc yet because it
isn't considered stable yet.

Should we have an option for Xrender to be built and offered by xorg-libs?

Or should x11/Xrender be fixed to work even if render.pc is missing?
