Subject: configure: Clarify pkg-config warning now that Makefile does not invoke pkg-config.

configure: Clarify pkg-config warning now that Makefile does not invoke pkg-config.

It's probably a bit more work to use this configure script without
pkg-config, but it's at least possible, (and we could make it even
easier if this becomes an important use case).
