It seems to me that with Pkg-config in LFS we can change some packages
so that they now list Glib2 as a dep but there will be other packages
that don't need Glib. The only way to know for sure is to do a test
build on a raw LFS system which now includes Pkg-config :/ It's a lot
of work that's easiest to do when updating a package.

So what's the plan? Should we work our way through the book looking at
<xref linkend="pkgconfig"/>s either change them to
<xref linkend="glib"/> or just remove them? What about people with an
LFS 7.1 system that doesn't have Pkg-config? Should we put a note on
every page we change saying that LFS 7.1 users will need to install
Pkg-config?
