* main.c: Remove the possibility to have a default PKG_CONFIG_PATH in the Registry. It is much more flexible to just use environment variables. In general the Registry is not used in the ports of GTK+ or GNOME libraries and software to Windows. * parse.c (parse_line): On Windows, handle also .pc files found in a share/pkgconfig folder when automatically redefining a prefix variable for the package. * pkg-config.1: Corresponding changes. 2008-02-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com> * main.c: Fix some bitrot: On Windows, don't use the compile-time PKG_CONFIG_PC_PATH, but deduce a default one at run-time based on the location of the executable. This was originally what pkg-config did on Windows, but it had bit-rotted.

If a .pc file is found in a directory that matches the usual

-package is assumed to be the grandparent of the directory where the
