Installing pkg-config files for krb5

[Stef Walter]

Took a while to get back to this ... sorry about that.

Attached is a new patch. In addition to the changes Greg suggested, I've
added some MIT specific pkg-config files to implement Sam's suggestion
of having vendor specific pkg-config files along side the general ones.

Fixed.

Done.

Makes sense. I hope I got Requires.private in the kadm-server.pc and
kadm-client.pc files correct. I don't have experience with linking
applications against these libraries.

Cheers,
