only pkg_config does that, because otherwise it would need glib to
build, and glib needs pkgconfig to build. So they build a subset of the
glib and statically link it if no dynamically linkable version is found.
I don't think any other project does that.

When I fix these things, I use find_directory. I don't know about you
and others.

The problem with that is the "for now". Starting to have an
user-specific tmp now (even for native apps) with matching FIND_*
constants may be a good idea.
