If the library provides a *-uninstalled.pc (libvfcgi-uninstalled.pc), you
can pretend it's installed by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH (environment
variable) to the directory where that file is. Than calling valac with
respective --vapidir and --pkg libvfcgi should do the right thing
automagically.
This is special feature in pkg-config, that it looks for
<package>-uninstalled.pc in preference to <package>.pc, provided for exactly
this kind of situation.
