perl is for masochists

I didn't mention this last night (probably because I was EXTREMELY
tired), but the entire gentoo-x86 tree has been converted to the
virtual (YAAAAYYYY!!! *kermitflail*). As long as you don't use any
overlays, you should now be able to switch your pkgconfig
implementation to pkgconf[pkg-config] or pkg-config-lite with no
problems.

Please give them (mainly pkgconf) a try and see if everything works.

Same USE="pkg-config" is now available in dev-util/pkgconfig-openbsd if
anyone is intrested in perl based version


It won't get KEYWORDS anytime soon, but I'm happily accepting patches
that are forwarded to OpenBSD bug tracking system too
