That change is not necessary - Christian's patches already added
support for pkg-config.

The user needs to let autoconf know the PKG_CONFIG_PATH at configure
time if it's non-standard. Autotools already has ways to deal with
these things - custom changes should be avoided for sanity and
maintainability.
