By remote, you mean self-built, rather than from a package?

Can you elaborate?  The setupext.py just calls whatever pkg-config is 
first on the PATH, which should then in turn obey PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  If 
the user needs a custom PKG_CONFIG_PATH, it is generally the 
resposibility of the user to set it correctly -- and matplotlib's build 
system should (and does) use it.  Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding 
what you're suggesting.

Cheers,
Mike
