TBB needs pkg-config or similar interface for easy embedding into applications about onetbb

[KFilipek]

Hi,
Are there still plans for introducing pkg-config files into TBB?
Few our engines depend on the TBB and pkg-config will significantly improve experience while working with custom installation paths.
Best regards,

Hi @KFilipek, thank you for reminding about this issue! I don't have any experience in writing pkg-config files, but I can investigate this topic. It may require some time since I'm pretty busy with other activities; feel free to submit a PR or just put a snapshot here if you already have something as your local solution.

@KFilipek, let me duplicate the question from PR #361:

Is it enough for you to have pkg-config support for build from sources only? Are you interested in having it in prebuilt packages from release page (not sure how to dynamically get prefix value in this case)?

[AlexVeprev]

oneAPI packages (including oneTBB) now have support of pkg-config.

How does it apply to tbbmalloc, can that also be easily configured/linked with using the added pkg-config support?
