curl-config is a stand-alone script that is independent of PKG_CONFIG_PATH and
pkg-config. I think a build system should primarily use pkg-config (since
that's a general purpose system used by many libraries) and use curl-config as
a backup if pkg-config fails.

No.

I can't see how that would help this situation.
