file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
Algorithmic changes
* Input of numbers in bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 is now done in linear bit
complexity as opposed to O(N^2). Useful for all kinds of persistency.
Implementation changes
* Fixed several bugs in the integer input and output routines that could be
blamed for random crashes in the following cases: output in base 32 for
quite large numbers, input in base 2 for fixnums and input in base 3 for
fixnums on a 64 bit target.
* Fixed crash when radix specifiers were used in input streams.
* Speed up on x86_64 and ia64 by adding some inline assembly.
Other changes
* Fixes for compilation on MacOS X and little endian Mips.
