+Subject: [PATCH] configure: make libmagic optional and configurable
+
+Make libmagic optional and configurable. This is to address case where
+the libmagic library is detected but suppots wants to be disabled.
+
+While at it also add support for pkg-config and also apply the same
+workaround of libarchive for macos.
