Description

An implementation of pkg-config, u-config, doesn't support `--list-all` option, so it would be nice if Cabal can work without it.
The status quo is that Cabal will decide pkg-config is unavailable if `pkg-config --list-all` report failure.

Is there any reason Cabal don't use `pkg-config --modversion` directly to query desired libraries?
