Hi!

I didn’t follow discussions and I learned about ‘pkgconf’ only recently.
I’m afraid that adding this to ‘core-updates’ would further postpone its
merger, which was already being discussed beginning of January.

Should it instead be done on a separate branch?

(Aside: where should I read about the rationale of the pkg-config ->
pkgconf move?)
