[Bug 1030424] Re: Update to 0.27

[Brian Curtis]

Hi Robert,

All my work is in the branch if someone wants to take it over for
building ASAP, I may get some time this week, but I don't want to delay
it any further :)

Sorry for the trouble.

Title:
  Update to 0.27

Status in “pkg-config” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  pkg-config 0.27
  ===

   - Drop usage of popt for equivalent API in glib2.
   - Add back an internal snapshot of glib2 to break circular dependency.
     This can be used by passing --with-internal-glib to configure. On
     Windows it may still be required to use an installed glib.
   - Fix --exists to check for Requires and Requires.private. This ensures
     that all necessary packages are installed prior to using --cflags,
     --libs, etc.
   - Various fixes for MinGW which should allow it to be used unpatched on
     that system.
   - New autoconf macros PKG_INSTALLDIR and PKG_NOARCH_INSTALLDIR to help
     determine the .pc file install directory.
   - Fix handling of --exact/atleast/max-version vs. =/>=/<=.
   - Fix errors in man page source.
   - Ensure testing only searches in the check directory.
   - Bump glib requirement to 2.16 to avoid deprecated
     g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory().
   - Autotools refresh and update. The required versions now are
     autoconf-2.62, automake-1.11 and libtool-2.2.
   - Use g_alloca from glib instead of figuring out alloca ourselves.
   - Remove search for setresuid & setreuid only needed for internal popt.
