Attached patch makes flac provide pkg-config .pc files for libFLAC and libFLAC++.

This allows users of libFLAC to remove cruft from their configure.ac and check for flac in the same way as it is done for most of the other common libraries these days (ie. using PKG_CHECK_MODULES)

It IMHO makes it also much easier (since more consistent with other libraries) for developers to have diffferent versions of libflac installed at the same time in different prefixes. Matter of taste I guess. But then, no one is forced to use pkg-config for anything, so it's a win-win situation, no? :)
