Dear Maintainer,

vdr-plugin-xineliboutput FTCBFS due to multiple reasons. I am listing them with some of
the fixes done.

1. Hard-coding of pkg-config at various places, thereby not allowing arch triplet
prefixed pkg-config to be used during cross builds. added patch to makefile.

2. In d/rules:
    + CC, CXX were not passed to home-grown ./configure. I also added in a option to take pkgconfig here
    + this seems to really need a -fPIC, I checked build logs of all archs that have this so added it in
    + exported DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDTOOLS and added resepective headers

3. mpg2c executes during the build, which will inevitably give exec format error. however, the output
of this is arch indep. I checked this on atleast 3 arches using porter boxes to confirm. the output
was identical. so this can be compiled with build arch compiler.

I've attached a patch with these fixes. please review/merge.

thanks
nilesh
