Comment:

 Ok, I've downloaded the binary packages for 10.6 and 10.7 from
 http://packages.macports.org/libshout2/ and confirmed that shout.pc is
 missing from them. (We don't have any binaries for 10.4 or 10.5.)

 The reason appears to be this gem in libshout2's Makefile.am:

 {{{
 if HAVE_PKGCONFIG
   pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig
   pkgconfig_DATA = shout.pc
 else
   bin_SCRIPTS = shout-config
 endif
 }}}

 So, if pkg-config is installed, then it installs shout.pc, otherwise it
 installs the shout-config program. That's extremely weird. Most programs
 always install both, or (since separate config scripts are deprecated now
 that pkg-config exists), just a pkg-config file.

 So we need to add a port:pkgconfig dependency to the libshout2 port to get
 it to install shout.pc.
