New description:
Currently, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` is only '''set''' to Sage's `pkg-config`
directory (`$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/pkgconfig/`) if it is empty (or not set
at all).
The patch now also prepends Sage's directory otherwise, such that Sage's
`.pc` files will be picked up first.
The previous behaviour could obviously break the build if
`PKG_CONFIG_PATH` was already set in the "global" environment, i.e.
outside the Sage environment.
