Description
Just installed via All-In-One-Installer and wanted to point out that all of the pkgconfig .pc files installed have the wrong prefix path, it appears to be a relic of whoever builds the all-in-one-installer where their install prefix is set.
The installer suggested to install into C:/Program Files/PCL 1.11.0 but wherever you install it, the pkgconfig files will always point to C:/Program Files/PCL
I use PCL as an external dependency in another project I know how to get this working with the pkgconfig prefix issue, so I don't exactly need help. Just more a comment on what might give some people issues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the All-In-One-Installer installation and inspect the installed pkgconfig .pc files. Compare their prefix path with the directory selected during installation. Done means the files consistently reference the user's chosen installation prefix rather than the builder's C:/Program Files/PCL path.
