Using go implement of pkg-config.

I saw a post in go-nus:

Certainly, pkg-config is depend on glib-2.0 and this is a issue for windows user, I guess. But go uses a part of functions that pkg-config have.

How about include pkg-gonfig into go tool?

# go tool pkg-config --cflags --libs sqlite3

This is pkg-goncfig that I written just now.

How about making it installable by go get? Somebody who has trouble
installing the "real" pkg-config can just install the Go version into
his bin directory. When the go tool is running pkg-config, it could
use either the C or the Go version -- assuming the invocation is the
same.

Looks very nice, thanks for this!

I think that you may be able to simplify the key/value parsing a bit
if you use strings.SplitN(line, "=", 2) instead of a regexp.

BTW if you need gnu flag semantics, you might want
to use launchpad.net/gnuflag, which has almost exactly
the same API as the standard flag package.

nice!

I wrote getopt in go ago, But it don't support getopt_long. So I had feeling unsatisfactory.

I'll use it in next. Thanks.
