 There is a change in 1.3.0's flac.pc that causes pkg-config --cflags
 to produce a different result.
 
 The idea was always that applications should include FLAC's headers
 like this
 
 #include <FLAC/xxx.h>
 
 as in the examples and other Xiph code.  However, the old pkg-config
 specs returned -I/usr/local/include/FLAC, so if you relied on
 pkg-config and didn't run into an assert.h clash, then plain <xxx.h>
 also worked.
 
 This was corrected in 1.3.0:
 
 $ pkg-config --cflags flac
 -I/usr/local/include
 
 Although FLAC 1.3.0 is the first release after almost six years,
 and the use of symbol visibility has caused a lot of superficial
 differences in the libraries, there haven't been any significant
 changes in the documented API.
