Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4c16325de0 I take out getPkgConfig. It looks to me as if it needed a solution, but noone took action.
I take action before much discussion.
For what I see:
- getPkgConfig problems are hard to track
- config.nix trying to forecast getPkgConfig behaviour looks me as a bad approach,
  and people should not trust such a config.nix unless they parsed the whole nixpkgs
  for tricky effects.
- It's not that hard to write config.nix in the style of getConfig
- Every now and then newcomers hit the "'git' is an attribute set while a boolean was expected".

Maybe this will disrupt nixes of some people, and that will be a background on what to discuss.
