The .pc file is also used by abidistfiles and abiword-docs to
determine installation path (yes, it would be better if there was a
way to override that). Also in non-libabiword configuration the
library stuff should not be in the pc file, of course.

Header installation was required for early versions of pyabiword. The
situation has improved in the meantime and I hope we can get away
installing only libabiword.h and abiwidget.h.
Another reason for installing the headers was to enable plugin
development without an abiword source tree, but in the meantime I
doubt that's very useful.
Will fix.
