As I wrote, there are other files with the same problem
(/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgdiplus.pc).

Yep, pkg-config needs to be fixed to be able to live with broken .pc
files. But until then, pkg-config seems not to be reliable enough to
depend on.

I can now work around the problem on my system, but as you already
mentioned: This could hurt MythTV on more systems.

IMHO, it would probably be good to be able to force MythTV, for example
with a enable-opengl parameter for configure, if auto config via
pkg-config fails.

BTW, having configure options that then can be set by the Gentoo build
system which depends on USE flags, is how Gentoo normally works. But I
guess, you know that. ;-)
