pkg-config-lite and pkgconf are in the tree now, and there is a 
virtual/pkgconfig which allows for these three packages (with the default 
remaining the same).

i think the migration process will be:

 - i'll update repoman to warn about packages depending on dev-util/pkgconfig 
and suggest the virtual instead
