Comment:

 This is fallout from #32260 where we added the option to disable libpng
 support.

 Currently libpixman has no dependencies. The goal of #32260 was to make it
 so that libpixman would not attempt to use a libpng that it found, because
 I wanted to avoid adding a dependency on libpng. libpng builds quickly and
 only depends on zlib which also builds quickly:

 {{{
 $ port rdeps libpng
 The following ports are dependencies of libpng @1.4.9_0:
   zlib
 }}}

 But on principal, I don't want to add dependencies on software we don't
 need.

 But now somehow we're using pkgconfig, which has a much larger list of
 dependencies, that I even more greatly do not want to add:

 {{{
 $ port rdeps pkgconfig
 The following ports are dependencies of pkgconfig @0.26_1:
   glib2
     xz
       libiconv
         gperf
       gettext
         ncurses
           ncursesw
         expat
     zlib
     libffi
     perl5
       perl5.12
         gdbm
 }}}

 The problem seems not to be the patch itself, but that we're running
 autoreconf after applying it. libpixman-devel, which already has the patch
 built-in, does not complain about pkgconfig.
