If you need to do anything more complex, my ac_config_pkgconfig_in.m4
file (in the ac-archive) provides a AC_CONFIG_PKGCONFIG_IN macro to do
more complex .pc.in generation within configure.  With recent
autoconf/makes, it might be possible to automate the .pc file
generation in config.status, now that automake uses autoconf traces.

I have a slightly more recent version than the one publicly available,
which I mean to submit soon--contact me if you want a copy.
