Okay.

Request an addition to POSIX and I will reconsider it.

No.  The configure script along with the autoconf macros is how the
gnupg related stuff is to be build.  If there is a problem, please file
a bug.  Frankly, I don't see the reason for the request to use
pkg-config.  The *-config script approach is much more flexible and
easier to maintain.
