* main.c: (Win32): Add option --dont-define-prefix on Windows. The
option prevents pkg-config from automatically defining an
overriding value for the "prefix" variable.
Unless this option is used, set "prefix" to pkg-config's
installation directory, i.e. assume that the packages whose
configuration files are found in the same tree where
pkg-config.exe itself is, also have been configured to use the
same prefix. This means that a typical "developer package"
containg a subtree of headers, libraries, etc, including .pc
files, can be installed in any random location. As long as
pkg-config.exe is installed the same tree, things just should
work.
* pkg-config.1: Document it.
