you would only provide the .pc file
To begin with, I'm opposed to metadata-based approaches to portability.
They are a maintenance nightmare.
If I have understood correctly how pkg-config works[1], the .pc file
must be generated by the makefile at build time, and it contains fixed
directory names that prevent the library to be found if it is moved
after instalation.

If someone makes a patch for this that I'm comfortable with, I may
distribute it, but I won't implement it myself.
Regards,
Antonio.
