And where is the problem? E.g. Name: @PACKAGE@ and then process the .pc.in by configure (AC_CONFIG_FILES). If you don't want to use $PACKAGE, well then use some self-defined variable. I guess your Makefiles also gets the library name from somewhere (e.g. configure). However, IMO it is a stupid idea to use different names for the same library on different platforms. It makes it hard to search for this library by a simple portable configure script. BTW: Your question is not related to pkg-config. Maybe you want to consult the autotools lists.
