    systeminstall: speed up pkg-config
    
    The code for building the list of all installed packages is very slow,
    particularly when lots of packages are installed.
    
    This "slow and steady" approach was implemented in bug 683832 because of
    the potential for broken pkg-config files to break the old approach.
    
    Broken pkg-config files are not normally installed, so we may as well
    try to do things the fast way first, falling back on the other approach
    if it fails.
    
    This improves 'jhbuild list glib' from ~5.6 to ~0.4 seconds on my fairly
    typical system (with 482 .pc files installed).
