[HEADSUP] devel/pkgconfig is gone, long live devel/pkgconf

A simple grep of the tree shows at least 644 more uses of USE_GNOME=
pkgconfig, including some in bsd.xorg.mk.

Is work being undertaken to fix these, or have they been left as is on
purpose?

The fact that bsd.xorg.mk already pulls in USE_GNOME=pkgconfig in the
right places also suggests that it would be trivial to make pkgconf a
build-only dep for all of X in one fell swoop, does it not? Perhaps
similar solutions can be found for ports in some of the other bsd.*.mk
categories?
