Ok, I also will ask why not install gs fonts in lib/X11/fonts. I personal  
rather to have all fonts in a place than multi-place.

In case if anyone want to know my real thought of this PR. I disagree with  
this PR, because the purpose of install foo.pc is to run 'pkg-config  
--options foo'. Therefore, pkgconfig should be install.

Tonight or tomorrow, I will start to touch some PRs.

Mezz
