Hello,
This PR adds the generation of a pkg-config file for docopt when calling
make/ninja/etc. install
. Merging it should close #68.In brief, pkg-config eases the utilization of software libraries by allowing the developers of a library to define how the library should be used — instead of letting end users struggling with it. It therefore allows docopt users to link/include it without having to know internal details such as include path or the library name.
Some build systems support the definition of dependencies via pkg-config (e.g., this is the main way to define dependencies in Meson, CMake can use pkg-config dependencies).
I added some fixes over 849e261 (#68) to make it work on non-Debian-based systems.
