I wonder what can help more people to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH
than a message they should set PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  Maybe it's
too late and instead something like

if echo :$PKG_CONFIG_PATH: | grep -v :$(pkgconfigdir): >/dev/null; then
    echo Your PKG_CONFIG_PATH does not contain $(pkgconfigdir).
    echo Please remember to add it to allow other programs to find $(PACKAGE).
    echo
    echo And don't even try to ask \`I ignored two messages I have to
    echo set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and now it doesn't compile. What should I do?\'
    echo in gtk-list you bastard.
fi

should be done install-local of GLib and others?
