The file is in the right place.

This problem happens with D-Bus as well. Fortunately, we are not linking to it 
directly.

"includedir" is "where include headers should be installed"

Querying variables was never part of the standard pkg-config use. You should 
be using pkg-config --cflags-only-I to get the include dirs. The difference 
is that you need some string-replacement magic to get rid of the "-I" that 
are there: CMake wants a list of directories, not compiler flags.
