libarchive dep: pkg-config build issue

[unxmaal]

Describe the bug
Running "bmake install" in libarchive fails due to missing pkg-config binary.

To Reproduce
bmake install

Expected behavior
It doesn't do this.

Screenshots

configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables X_CFLAGS
and X_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details

Hacked the configure file to skip the pkg-config version check.

 10956  pkg_failed=no

In current pkgsrc, pkg-config is a wrapper for pkgconf, so this check will always fail.

/usr/pkg/bin/pkg-config: error: '/usr/pkg/bin/.libs/pkgconf' does not exist
This script is just a wrapper for pkgconf.
See the libtool documentation for more information.```

Nope. The message means the build has failed because of the libtool issue. Fix libtool and this goes away.

pkgsrc has both pkgconf and pkg-config as a remnant from the period when pkg-config was a build dependency for itself and you could not build it from scratch. pkgconf will work fine with the modification from http://www.sgidev.org/wiki/pkgsrc_build_notes.html - IRIX printf() crashes on format specifiers it does not understand.
