Some progress:

  If pkg-config is not available, then PROJ_LDFLAGS ends up empty
  instead of -lproj.  However there is no error and proj is reproted
  found.  I don't see in 2.5->3 NEWS that this is now required.  I don't
  find that it is required in README.postgis.

  Once I added pkg-config (as a declared dependency, making it
  available), I got a fatal error about json-c, that I also didn't find
  being a new requirement in NEWS.  In README.postgis it says it is
  optional.

This is not a complaint about those being requirements, but a bug report
that if they reaally are new requirements, should be in NEWS.


Then, I got a successful build.   Tests printed out versions:

PostgreSQL 10.13 on x86_64--netbsd, compiled by gcc (nb2 20180327) 5.5.0, 64-bit
  Postgis 3.0.1 - rec2a9aa - 2020-06-21 23:53:55
  scripts 3.0.1 ec2a9aa
  GEOS: 3.8.1-CAPI-1.13.3
  PROJ: 6.3.2

and the tests passed.


I wonder if the package should include protobuf-c; it seems useful to
some and not that big so I will tend to include it.
