+#
+# Test pkgconfig files.
+#
+# For each of the build pkg-config files, .pc files, check that
+# they validate and do some basic sanity testing on the output,
+# i.e. that the strings are non-empty.
+#
+# NOTE: This requires the built pc files to be on the pkg-config
+# search path, this can be controlled with env variable
+# PKG_CONFIG_PATH. See man(1) pkg-config for details.
