Ingmar told me about this change. Which makes sense : /usr/lib is for stuff
that depends on the architecture (binary), and /usr/share for independant
stuff.
Ah, that makes sense.
It seems that share is just as good as lib from pkg-config's perspective. From its man page under PKG_CONFIG_PATH: "The default directory will always be searched after searching the path; the default is libdir/pkgconfig:datadir/pkgconfig where libdir is the libdir where pkg-config and datadir is the datadir where pkg-config was installed."
Using share does sound like a better idea.
