It would make sense only if by default you don't install udev rules,
if you do they must be installed where udev will read, unless you
want to change udev to read the rules from your directory but in
this case you need root too so will fail again.
The only sensible option would be to not install udev rules by
default and add a --enable-udev (or similar).

Similar issue happens with spice-gtk and policy kit for the same
reason, fails if I don't specify --disable-polkit.

Sending a new version, looks like is easier to call pkg-config
directly instead of trying to provide PKG_CHECK_VAR (available
since pkg-config 0.28, RHEL7 has 0.27).
