I found a better way for me. I have only one pkgconfig dir in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig and some symbolic links. I have not so many dirs,
which are prefix dir for installed packages: /usr, /usr/local,
/usr/local/gnome2. So I made /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig as symbolic link
on /usr/lib/pkgconfig. Same for /usr/local/gnome2/lib/pkgconfig. Works
fine for me without any PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
