I liked the original myself. :) The "Makefile:" prefix was intended to indicate where the change was made and I thought that the one-line summary was compact and accurate. It's a bit difficult to indicate that "the cause of the error, which is issued by the shell, is a missing pkg-config command on some systems" as part of the one-line summary. (So I didn't try ;P ) Having said that, I can't claim to be good at writing commit messages. So, feel free to re-write it as you wish.
