This seems fine to me and it seems to generate the right stuff in the configure script. It certainly seems better than what was there before, but I'm not an autoconf guru. Apologies for poking the bear, thanks for trying to fix it properly! What I was trying to do was compile expat and wayland-scanner for host with a non-standard prefix, then cross-compile wayland itself using the tools we just built. We could have passed extra configure options, but the pkg-config solution "just works" for the majority of packages. I didn't think changing this would cause any trouble as expat has been distributing pc files for many years.
