Description

Here's a diff between the xerces-c.pc files created by CMake and Autotools:

--- ../xerces-c.pc.cmake	2017-10-06 11:33:55.580393801 +0000

 Description: Validating XML parser library for C++
-Version: 
-Libs: -L/usr/local/lib -lxerces-c
-Libs.private: 
-Cflags: -I/usr/local/include
+Version: 3.2.0
+Libs: -L${libdir} -lxerces-c
+Libs.private: -lcurl
+Cflags: -I${includedir}

In my opinion the CMake version has the following problems:

• variables are expanded (prefix and includedir),
• the version string is missing,
• static linking options (-lcurl) are missing (after Libs.private).
