The defaults can easily be changed in the toplevel SConstruct!

It's the info in dolfin.pc you like to have writte out, right?

It's not necessary to have a writable PKG_CONFIG_PATH, scons/pkgconfig
is used if non is found. Let's just say there are some issues, so
having a a nice place to store pkg-config files writeable and first in
PKG_CONFIG_PATH makes things a bit nicer.

If you walk by my office and have a look at my whiteboard, you'll see
some stuff that deals with at least some of the issues. Obviously,
code on my whiteboard won't make anybody else happy...
