[Bug 505712] [NEW] libglew1.5-dev package does not include pkgconfig file

[Arc "warthog" Riley]

Public bug reported:

pkg-config is an essential tool for software to detect libraries and
acquire the build flags to use them properly.  This package should
contain (ie) /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glew.pc but does not.  See Mesa's gl.pc
for an example of a similar package.

Lack of this file (and thus ability to detect a system-wide library)
leads upstream packagers to include a local static copy of GLEW making
more work for Ubuntu packagers to modify upstream build scripts to
manually link to this library.

Please, for the cost of a few hundred bytes in a -dev package it will
save a lot of headache.
