mysql56: install package-config `pc` file

Description

I'm trying to build some software that uses package-config to find the mysql.h header.

Would it be possible to install a .pc file so that this works? 

$ find /opt/local -name '*mysql*pc'
// nothing found
$ find /opt/local -name '*fftw*pc'
// the .pc file is here for many other libraries from Macports
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/fftw3.pc
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/fftw3f.pc

Oops ... actually it was using mysql_config, so I just had to do this: 

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin/"

Could be useful to print this info about /opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin to the console when MySQL is installed?

I'm not sure that would be useful. Users are expected to use port contents to discover where files are installed.

OK ... sorry for the noise ... close this ticket?

I'm going to close this since it's not up to us to create pkg-config files for programs; it's up to the developers of those programs to do so. Apparently ​MySQL has pkg-config files as of version 5.7.9.
