[postgis-devel] Using pkg-config for PROJ

Hi,

Yes, you can't have MVT support without pkg-config.

I would argue that the most important library used by PostGIS is PostgreSQL =D
Anyhow, both GEOS and Postgres provide a config executable that provides
similar information. You don't need to do provide both.

I think I'm going to start by adding pkg-config support for the
libraries that support it
(gdal, xml2, proj, json, cunit, libpcre) and, for the ones where we
are using a non
standard way to include them (proj, json, cunit, libpcre), throw a
warning suggesting
using pkg-config or the alternative flags (e.g. PROJ_CFLAGS / PROJ_LIBS).
