Improvement pkgconfig libkiwix

[kelson42]

Why the naming is different? We have kiwix and libzim:

/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/kiwix.pc
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libzim.pc

It should not be libkiwix.pc?

Why we do have kiwix.pc.in in our code repo, but nothing similar at libzim level?

Why we do have kiwix.pc.in in our code repo, but nothing similar at libzim level?

Probably because libzim has been update to use the meson module pkgconfig and libkiwix is still using the older method of having a template file.

Why the naming is different? We have kiwix and libzim:

Historical reason. Probably a random guy (me) put this name and we stay with it.
Be careful if you change it. Other project will need to update to search for libkiwix instead of kiwix.

So we could agree that?

• It should be libkiwix
• We should use Meson and remove kiwix.pc.in?

Considering we are just about releasing version 14.0.0, this would be a good time to do it IMHO

@veloman-yunkan I have put this issue as well in the milestone as this can only be done in a major release and the fix seems trivial to me
