Patch to use the pkg-config path given by the --with-pkg-config-path= configure script option

When I build gstreamer and plugins, I install the binaries into a separate directory tree. This means that when compiling plugins I need to use the configure "--with-pkg-config-path=" option to point to where the pkg-config files can be found in the separate tree. When I try to compile, the build fails when the introspection scanner is invoked because it cannot find the pkg-config files.

The following patch sets the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, to the value given by the configure "--with-pkg-config-path=" option, when invoking the introspection scanner. This allows the build to succeed.

Nice catch, thanks for the patch!
