The two scripts dolfin-convert (convert meshes from other formats) and
dolfin-swig (used by PyDOLFIN) need to be in the executable path if
the path is non-standard.

If you don't convert meshes and only use the C++ interface, then this
is not needed.

Maybe we should add a test for pkg-config, but strictly speaking it's
not necessary for compiling and installing DOLFIN. It's only needed to
build things against DOLFIN if you don't want to manually specify the
compiler flags.

That's a long time ago and we only recently replaced dolfin-config
with pkg-config + a generated file dolfin.pc.
