Personally I am quite fine with requiring pkg-config as a build
requirement for automtic detection of libcap, openssl, openldap and a a
couple more. My only requirement is that a minimal build should be
possible even without pkg-config.

pkg-config is often available even on those old OS versions even if not
normally installed.
