Closed issue by Cogitri on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/3391

Description:
I propose to use pkgconf instead of pkg-config for building. pkgconf has some advantages to pkg-config:

* It's still actively maintained (on https://git.dereferenced.org/pkgconf/pkgconf)
* It generally is faster than pkg-config...
* ...while providing a more accurate dependency graph (which prevents excessive overlinking)

Other distros such as Arch, Fedora, Mageia and most of the BSDs already use pkg-conf. Also see the Arch ML for their thread about this topic: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-May/029252.html
