Petr, this kind of problem has showed up in other Per modules, too.
Perhaps your setup should first report if pkg-config shows the right
thing for all prerequisites (with Perl code only), then follow with
separate compilation tests after all prereqs are found.  It would
greatly ease the pain of users trying to analyze installation
problems.
