We've started cataloging pkg-config packages ("modules").
It'd be awesome to have this data in the package search.
The format is quite simple

    # check-meta.nix
    pkgConfigModules = listOf str;

The set of modules can vary from platform to platform, but usually it's a constant set, so you could cut that corner if that makes for an easier start.

Seems rather specific, I don't have motivation to do this but feel free to open a PR I guess. At least for the indexing part; I'm really not sure we need to show these to users.

Also if this is just supposed to reflect the files in /lib/pkgconfig that sounds like a job for nix-index, not another metadata field?
