Use the environment variable PKG_CONFIG to determine the correct
pkg-config executable. Default to 'pkg-config' if the variable is not
set.

This allows the user to cross compile. E.g., PKG_CONFIG can be set to
'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config'.

I did not touch any windows specific functions, which still call
'pkg-config' directly.

This needs documentation in the install directions + a whats_new entry.
