(Migrated from github.com)

Testing pkgconf-0.9.3.

I have pkgconf installed to /opt/foo/bin/pkgconf,
and the C compiler is in /usr/bin/gcc.
I have a library in /opt/foo/include/foo.h and /opt/foo/lib/libfoo.a,
and its .pc file says

prefix=/opt/foo
includedir=${prefix}/include
Cflags: -I${includedir}

In this situation, pkgconf --cflags never outputs -I/opt/foo/include

which is pretty annoying. I apply https://gist.github.com/dankegel/6788768 to make --keep-system-foo the default. Perhaps a configure option would be appropriate.

Use --with-system-libdir=/usr/lib and --with-system-includedir=/usr/include. We should probably document this on README.md.
