Hi,

Currently libgccjit has no pkg-config support, this makes using it from
build systems such as cmake or meson cumbersome as pkg-config is their main
method of dependency detection. I saw that support was removed back in 2014
due to it being "*controversial". *Was this due to the library being
relatively new at the time or some other reason? Would a patch to
reintroduce it be welcome?

Regards,
Elliot.
