Subject: [PATCH] gnu: curl: patch curlpp.pc.in before configure.

The current curlpp.pc pkg-config file that gets installed stipulates that
compilers take -Iinclude to link against the curlpp library, but this is
insufficient to locate the headers.  A patch has been pushed upstream, but
there has been no response in over a week so we are 'kludging' the issue here
until it is fixed properly.

* gnu/packages/curl.scm (curlpp): add pre-configure build step
  "patch-pkg-config", and put pkg-config itself into propagated-inputs.

I'm sick of fighting against this problem, is anyone going to consider
pulling it?
