Comment(by jason):

 I agree that the current solution is suboptimal.  If we can really use
 environment variables in pkgconfig files, then clearly the best place to
 fix the pkgconfig files is in the separate spkg-installs for the affected
 packages.  That would be way less error-prone (for example, libpng knows
 about the symbolic link, so it knows exactly which file to modify).  In
 other words, it is the responsibility of the spkg to make the package
 relocatable.

 I think we ought to just post new versions of the right spkgs, and not
 modify the pkgconfig files in sage-location.
