Can spirv-cross add support for using spirv-cross C++ library via pkg-config?

Something like: spirv-cross.pc.in

prefix=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@ exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: spirv-cross Description: SPIRV-Cross Version: @SPIRV_CROSS_VERSION@

Requires: Libs: -L${libdir} -lspirv-cross-cpp -lspirv-cross-core -lspirv-cross-glsl -lspirv-cross-hlsl -lspirv-cross-msl -lspirv-cross-reflect -lspirv-cross-util -lspirv-cross-c Cflags: -I${includedir}

It is intentional that there is no C++ API pkg-config. The C++ API is not 100% API/ABI stable, and having distros shipping those is problematic. The C API is designed to be stable for purposes of packaging. The recommended way for C++ API is to link statically.
