The pkgconfig generator for PETSc (and other packages) seems
unecessarily big. Why do we need things like

def pkgCflags(sconsEnv=None):
  includes, = getPetscVariables(variables='includes', sconsEnv=sconsEnv)
  return includes

This is a function that just calls another function, puts the result
in a variable and returns that variable.
