    \brief Provides support for generating pkg-config files.

    The \c Exporter.pkgconfig module contains the properties and rules to create a
    \l{https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config}{pkg-config}
    metadata (\c{.pc}) file for a \l Product.

    By default, \QBS will attempt to derive some of the \c {.pc} file's contents from
    the product's \l Export item. This behavior can be suppressed by setting the
    \l autoDetect property to \c false.

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Exporter.pkgconfig::autoDetect

    If this property is enabled, then \QBS will try to derive various \c {.pc} file
    entries from the contents of the product's \l Export item, including the dependencies
    declared therein. Values for these fields can still be explicitly provided via the
    respective properties, in which case they will be concatenated with the auto-detected ones.
    If an exported dependency is known to correspond to a pkg-config module (either by
    pulling in the \c{Exporter.pkgconfig} module or by appearing in the \l requiresEntry
    property), it will end up in the \c Requires field of the \c{.pc} file, otherwise
    its exported \l cpp properties will be collected for use in the \c Cflags and \c Libs fields.
    The \l excludedDependencies property can be used to ignore specific products altogether.

    \defaultvalue \c true
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::cflagsEntry

    The value of the \c Cflags field in the \c {.pc} file.

    If \l autoDetect is enabled, then this value will be appended to the flags derived from
    the product's \l Export item and the dependencies declared therein.

    \defaultvalue \c {[]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::conflictsEntry

    The value of the \c Conflicts field in the \c {.pc} file.

    \defaultvalue \c {[]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::excludedDependencies

    If \l autoDetect is enabled, the entries of this property will be matched against
    the product's exported dependencies. In case such a dependency's name is present in the array,
    \QBS will not traverse that dependency to collect entries for the
    \c Cflags, \c Libs, \c Requires and \c {Requires.private} fields.

    This list must not contain any values that are present in \l requiresEntry.

    \defaultvalue \c undefined
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Exporter.pkgconfig::fileName

    The file name of the generated pkg-config metadata file.

    \defaultvalue \c {product.targetName + ".pc"}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::libsEntry

    The value of the \c Libs field in the \c {.pc} file.

    If \l autoDetect is enabled, then this value will be appended to the flags derived from
    the product's \l Export item and the dependencies declared therein.

    \defaultvalue \c {[]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::libsPrivateEntry

    The value of the \c Libs.Private field in the \c {.pc} file.

    \defaultvalue \c {[]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Exporter.pkgconfig::nameEntry

    The value of the \c Name field in the \c {.pc} file.

    \defaultvalue \c {product.name}
*/


/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::requiresEntry

    The value of the \c Requires field in the \c {.pc} file.

    If \l autoDetect is enabled, then those of the product's exported dependencies
    that pull in the \c {Exporter.pkgconfig} module will also end up in the
    \c Requires field, provided they are not listed in \l excludedDependencies.

    If an exported dependency matches an entry of this array, \QBS will not traverse that
    dependency to gather \l cpp properties for use in the \l cflagsEntry and \l libsEntry values,
    as pkg-config takes care of that itself.

    \defaultvalue \c {[]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Exporter.pkgconfig::requiresPrivateEntry

    The value of the \c Requires.private field in the \c {.pc} file.

    If \l autoDetect is enabled, then those of the product's non-exported dependencies
    that pull in the \c {Exporter.pkgconfig} module will also end up in the
    \c Requires.private field, provided they are not listed in \l excludedDependencies.

    \defaultvalue \c {[]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty var Exporter.pkgconfig::transformFunction

    A function with the signature
    \c {function(product, moduleName, propertyName, value)}.
    This can be useful to "fine-tune" property values if \l autoDetect is enabled, in case
    they need amending for the purpose of pkg-config.
    The \c product parameter represents the exporting product, the remaining parameters describe
    the module property. The modified value of the module property shall be returned.

    \defaultvalue \c undefined
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Exporter.pkgconfig::urlEntry

    The value of the \c URL field in the \c {.pc} file.

    \defaultvalue \c undefined
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Exporter.pkgconfig::versionEntry

    The value of the \c Version field in the \c {.pc} file.

    \defaultvalue \c {product.version}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Exporter.pkgconfig::customVariables

    Use this property to add arbitrary variable assignments into the \c .pc file.
    The property is a map that will produce one assignment per entry.
    The keys and values of the map represent the left-hand sides and right-hand
    sides of these assignments, respectively. The values are strings that will
    be written into the file verbatim.
