libical-libdir.patch

On a machine with SYMLINK_LIB=no profile (i.e. 32-bit libs in /usr/lib), installing dev-libs/libical-1.0.1 would generate a pkgconfig file looking like this:

> cat /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libical.pc 
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
threadslib=-lpthread
 
Name: libical
Description: An implementation of basic iCAL protocols
Version: 1.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lical -licalss -licalvcal ${threadslib}
Cflags: -I${includedir}

With the "libdir" pointing to /usr/lib (which is wrong in this case), and the "-L${libdir}" makes anything using libical (especifically evolution) fail to compile.

Attaching a small patch that fixes the evolution compilation problems for me at least.

Thanks for the patch! I added the new version 2.0.0 and rebased the patch on that, so hopefully it still fixes the issue for you.
