Serveral pkg-config .pc files missing

Status:Closed Resolved:
Product:OS X Product Version:10.8.2
Classification: Reproducible:
 
Starting in OS X 10.8, several .pc files are missing from /usr/lib/pkgconfig. These files are used by build configuration scripts that want to link against libraries included by the system.  The missing files are:

libcurl.pc
libexslt.pc
libbxml-2.0.pc


Steps to Reproduce:
Try to build any project that uses pkg-config in order to find how to link against libcurl, libexslt or libxml-2.0

Expected Results:
pkg-config should return compiler arguments based on the contents of the pc file.

Actual Results:
pkg-config returns:
Package libcurl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcurl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libcurl' found

Regression:
These files were present before OS X 10.8.
