pkg-config and backports

[Etienne Dysli-Metref]

Hi Feri,

I'm trying to backport Shibboleth packages to Wheezy, starting with
xml-security-c and ran into the issue that Wheezy has an older version
of pkg-config that does not support PKG_INSTALLDIR. Since you wrote
earlier (in thread "log4shib and pkg-config"):

> PKG_INSTALLDIR can be yanked out with no loss of previous functionality,
> as it wasn't configurable at all.

I tried to remove it from the patch
'debian/patches/Use-pkg-config-for-Xerces-OpenSSL-and-NSS-and-provid.patch'.
I also had to add a definition of 'pkgconfigdir' for the build to work,
but I'm not sure about the right value/place to put it. Here are my
modifications:

Does this sound reasonable/correct to you?

Cheers,
