[New-bugs-announce] [issue15506] configure should use PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG

[Mike Frysinger]

New submission from Mike Frysinger:

the current configure script open codes the pkg-config look up:
AC_PATH_TOOL([PKG_CONFIG], [pkg-config])

rather than using the standard macro from pkg-config's own pkg.m4:
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG

this causes the build env to not operate exactly like other pkg-config autoconf builds :(

simple fix:
-AC_PATH_TOOL([PKG_CONFIG], [pkg-config])
+PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
