 Isn't the problem that package foo uses FindBar from cmake, which uses
pkg-config to find the package? For me, the burden of depending on host-pkgconf
is on package foo in that case.

 That said, this hack really simplifies things so let's indeed keep it.

 Actually, why don't we just always build host-pkgconf? On my machine 'make
host-pkgconf' takes 6.5 seconds, of which 4.7 seconds are parsing the makefiles.
Can we afford the cost of 1.5 seconds of build time and 844K of build size?

 Regards,
 Arnout
