Summary:                    configure pkg-config checks not overridable
Description: 
in LibreOffice we bundle redland libraries.

for reasons unknown to me on Mac OS X we cannot use pkg-config in the build
system, so we have to be able to override pkg-config checks somehow.

if the standard PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro is used this is easily
possible by setting PKG_CONFIG="" and the corresponding
FOO_CFLAGS/FOO_LIBS to some nonempty value.

but librdf contains hand-written pkg-config check that do not allow this.

Steps to Reproduce: 
PKG_CONFIG="" RAPTOR2_CFLAGS="-I/foo" RAPTOR2_LIBS="-L/bar -lraptor2"
RASQAL_CFLAGS="-I/foo" RASQAL_LIBS="-L/bar -lrasqal" ./configure
