OK then I guess we are all done because the -5 version is hardcoded to
/usr as suggested (and it is a good thing). %_docdir still evades me,
there is something fishy here:

[root at felicia SRPMS]# rpm --eval '%_docdir'
%_docdir

However after using Docdir: %{_defauldocdir} inside a specfile it exists 
and can be used. Or is it there, just not visible with --eval? Sorry 
if these questions are somewhat RTFM but I really read all packaging 
guidelines, Maximum RPMs and you know what, it still proves that 
lots of knowledge seemingly just comes from reading very many 
specfiles...

http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/RPMMacros does not mention
this macro, nor does Maximum RPMs, nor does the rpmbuild manpage etc.
RPM documentation is somewhat lagging behind.

As for the soft requirement: if I Require: pkgconfig I know I have the
dir %{_libdir}/pkgconfig but otherwise I must own that dir something
like

%dir %{_libdir}/pkgconfig
%files ...

right? So we have multiple owners of that dir in this case, creating
a soft dependency in case pkgconfig is not installed.
