Thus making the problem much better by *guaranteeing* that the *.pc file
is wrong if there are any make-time overrides! Er, wait.... :)
Yes. The only make-time override which has any business being used as
part of a formal build process is DESTDIR used with 'make install'.
Anything else is a hack. :-)
Regardless, the .pc file is likely incorrect for various stages of its
lifetime. For example, the version in the build tree may be incorrect
until everything is installed.
