The value would be hardcoded into the generated 'libxslt.pc' when you
run 'configure' before building libxslt, just as it is hardcoded into
the generated 'xslt-config'.

Someone used to using pkg-config in configure.in files could use
'pkg-config --variable=plugins libxslt' in their configure.in for a
plugin project to get the directory in which to install their plugin
rather than going to xslt-config for the one extra piece of information
they can't currently get from pkg-config.
