Just patch the configure script. It's going to be horrible to validate adding these pc files across the ports tree, and unless there are a bunch of ports needing patches due to us not having this, the work isn't justifiable. > there are a couple editline libraries floating around, > each differing slightly with each other: exactly, this gives me the feeling that this is opening a can of worms. (While on the subject of pkg-config files, the bogus version number in the libressl ones is a small problem for ports, though I have no idea what we'd change it to instead ...)
