* pkg.c (package_get_var): Make sure to g_strdup all the return
values and not return some values which should not be freed and
some which should. Yay valgrind. Freedesktop #3682
* configure.in: Fix default search path to be pkgconfig rather
than pkg-config again. Freedesktop #3662
* pkg.m4: Add a missing AC_MSG_RESULT. Thanks to Gary Kramlich
for noticing this and harassing me to fix it.

The inter-library dependencies check was too tight and caused
problems if one used the --no-undefined flag to libtool on Solaris
(since it there expands to -Wl,-z,defs which disallows undefined
symbols). Add a new name to .pc files: Libs.private which will
not be listed in the output of --libs unless --static is also
given.
Private libraries are libraries which are needed in the case of
static linking or on platforms not supporting inter-library
dependencies. They are not supposed to be used for libraries
which are exposed through the library in question. An example of
an exposed library is GTK+ exposing Glib. A common example of a
private library is libm.
Generally, if include another library's headers in your own, it's
a public dependency and not a private one.
Thanks a lot to James Henstridge for both the bug and the following
discussion.
