Does setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig also do
that?

Where does that "-pthread" flag come from?  Is that a bug in GLib 2.x that
puts that flag in even on OS X?

Hopefully it also works without those flags if you install the relevant
libraries.

Yes, although we might want to suggest changing PKG_CONFIG_PATH rather
than copying the .pc files, and either continue to suggest installing the
JPEG/PNG/TIFF libraries or describe both alternatives.
