This pkg-config file is automatically created in the meson-uninstalled/
directory of the build tree, and points to the built artifacts there. If
this directory is added to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, it will be preferred over an
installed copy.
Making this work properly means it becomes trivially possible to build a
private copy of libalpm, and then compile other projects using it rather
than the system copy.

I've been using this in combination with some custom patches to pyalpm
(to actually use pkg-config), to generate statically linked pyalpm
wheels that don't break every time the pacman-git ABI breaks.
