Previously all paths were considered absolute. So using
--prefix =/home/$USER/.local --pkgconfigdir=lib/pkgconfig would try to
install the .pc file to /lib/pkgconfig.
The default behavior to install the file to $PREFIX/share/pkgconfig
is kept.
Invocations that use --pkgconfigdir=rel/path will change to
$PREFIX/rel/path .

The motivation was to allow simple switch from share/pkgconfig to
lib/pkgconfig (most libs on my system have pc file in lib/pkgconfig)
within the same prefix without having to write the absolute path.

regards,
Jan
