This line now does the same thing that is done to check libiscsi and libnbd
minimum versions in the same script. It works fine if pkg-config is installed
in the system. The version without the subshell also works, but it outputs
an additional error message if pkg-config is not installed -

./configure: line 2470: not-pkg-config: command not found
libzbc engine                 missing pkg-config, can't check library version

I could remove the explicit check for pkg-config and do the version check
without the subshell, but I think the output is less confusing with the subshell
version.
