[R-pkg-devel] set PKG_CONFIG_PATH before installing a package

[Travers Ching]

I think the correct way to do it is through the configure script.  See
for example the Cairo package that uses pkg-config.  Configure scripts
are slightly hard to work through in my experience, but are worth it
if you need  customization of the installation environment.
