    build: Use modern pkg-config macros
    
    The PKG_INSTALLDIR macro is available in pkg-config 0.27 and
    PKG_CHECK_VAR was introduced in 0.28, allowing for slightly cleaner build
    code. This does not affect what version of pkg-config is required if you
    build from a tarball.
    
    If running autoconf to regenerate configure, you now require 0.28. There
    is an even newer pkg-config macro to check what version of the M4 macros
    you have, but I don't want to require 0.29 just to check for 0.28. (0.28
    is four years old, while 0.29 was released this year.)
