libcurl.pc: make it relocatable
It supposes when people specify the libdir/includedir they do it to
change where under prefix/exec_prefix it should be, not to make it
independent of prefix/exec_prefix.

# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH(VARNAME, [REFERENCE_STRING])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Perform some cleanups on the value of $VARNAME (interpreted as a path):
#
# - empty paths are changed to '.'
# - trailing slashes are removed
# - repeated slashes are squeezed except a leading doubled slash '//'
# (which might indicate a networked disk on some OS).
#
# REFERENCE_STRING is used to turn '/' into '\' and vice-versa: if
# REFERENCE_STRING contains some backslashes, all slashes and backslashes
# are turned into backslashes, otherwise they are all turned into slashes.
#
# This makes processing of DOS filenames quite easier, because you can
# turn a filename to the Unix notation, make your processing, and turn it
# back to original notation.
#
# filename='A:\FOO\\BAR\'
# old_filename="$filename"
# # Switch to the unix notation
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["/"])
# # now we have $filename = 'A:/FOO/BAR' and we can process it as if
# # it was a Unix path. For instance let's say that you want
# # to append '/subpath':
# filename="$filename/subpath"
# # finally switch back to the original notation
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["$old_filename"])
# # now $filename equals to 'A:\FOO\BAR\subpath'
#
# One good reason to make all path processing with the unix convention is
# that backslashes have a special meaning in many cases. For instance
#
# expr 'A:\FOO' : 'A:\Foo'
#
# will return 0 because the second argument is a regex in which
# backslashes have to be backslashed. In other words, to have the two
# strings to match you should write this instead:
#
# expr 'A:\Foo' : 'A:\\Foo'
#
# Such behavior makes DOS filenames extremely unpleasant to work with. So
# temporary turn your paths to the Unix notation, and revert them to the
# original notation after the processing. See the macro
# AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS for a concrete example of this.
#
# REFERENCE_STRING defaults to $VARIABLE, this means that slashes will be
# converted to backslashes if $VARIABLE already contains some backslashes
# (see $thirddir below).
#
# firstdir='/usr/local//share'
# seconddir='C:\Program Files\\'
# thirddir='C:\home/usr/'
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([firstdir])
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([seconddir])
# AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([thirddir])
# # $firstdir = '/usr/local/share'
# # $seconddir = 'C:\Program Files'
# # $thirddir = 'C:\home\usr'
