When installed in the system, /usr/lib/pkconfig/wireshark.pc is missing. 
Looking at the sources it looks like it is being built with cmake, but not
autotools.  However, the development guide says for building on Unix it is
enough to do ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make.

I tried fixing this but failed terribly.  Twice.  After I fixed it the code
didn't look like somebody would accept it, so I realized I'd rather leave this
to someone from the team to deal with it.

First two failed attemps were posted for review, but withdrawn here:
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/7753/

How to reproduce:
1. ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make install
2. pkg-config --cflags --libs wireshark

Expected result:
-pthread -I/usr/local/include/wireshark -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -L/usr/local/lib -lwireshark -Wl,--export-dynamic
-lgmodule-2.0 -pthread -lglib-2.0

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