 Thanks for straightening me out on this. I had assumed that the value of
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH would replace the standard one entirely.
 But this works with gnome-python-desktop as committed in r50527.

 I agree it would good to add this setting to the python port groups
 (although it wouldn't have helped here) and
 the need to do this for the various py*-cairo ports should be more
 publicly documented somehow -- perhaps in a FAQ?
