OK this explains my problem, partly, but I'm nearly sure that even
with gl.pc missing, pkg-config handled this situation and correctly
gave the good cairo (for example, with my cairo depending on gl)
cflags and includes, while with pkgconf it fails to give the good
include path. That's why I cc'ed bapt.
