Description
Since it's common (really the only way) to mess with pkg-config search paths we will likely need to support these environment variables as well. How that interacts with CPS_* environment variables is something I have not thought through

Research direction
Start by locating the handling of CPS_* environment variables and the entry point that resolves package search paths. Determine the intended behavior for PKG_CONFIG_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, including their interaction with CPS_* variables; the issue is complete only once that behavior is specified, implemented, and covered by tests.
