fluidsynth-1.1.5 cmake no pkg-config

[derselbst]

If auto* is depreciated, cmake should install a pkg-config file.

A pkg-config file (fluidsynth.pc) is installed on Unix like systems (for instance, Linux), but it is not installed in Windows. The reason is that pkg-config is popular and required for building software under Linux, but not in Windows. If the auto-tools buildsystem is deprecated or not is irrelevant in this case.

Very relevant if cross-compiling.

The auto-tools build system also uses and requires pkg-config, being deprecated or not. Fluidsynth using cmake and pkg-config does not imply that any other project using Fluidsynth needs to use cmake and pkg-config as well. That is the case of QSynth (available for Linux, Windows and Mac OSX), that uses cmake but links to libfluidsynth without needing pkg-config at all, because it detects and configures Fluidsynth in a different way.

Anyway, the argument of the request is nonsense, but I don't mind to add fluidsynth.pc to the install target of cmake.
