Description Owen Taylor 2003-08-28 20:25:25 UTC 
The gtk-doc package is not architecture independent and neither
is it's .pc file, so the .pc file should go in $datadir, not
$libdir.

Putting it in libdir causes problems for making gtk-doc a
'noarch' package, since the libdir might be named different
things on different architectures. 

(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98595)

This requires a pkg-config feature addition to search 
for datadir.

It looks like pkg-config has been updated to handle this, but there hasn't
been a release with it yet. So we can't really install into $datadir yet, or
it won't be found.

It doesn't seem to be much of a problem anyway.

Fixed in cvs.
