yajl headers are supposed to be installed straight into $PREFIX/include/yajl
and they're supposed to be included as <yajl/yajl_something.h>, according to
the documentation.

However, pkg-config returns CFLAGS as $PREFIX/include/yajl and that
breaks build because "#include <yajl/yajl_something.h>" can't find the
header.

This is a problem if $PREFIX is different from /usr or other include
directory that's used implicitly (which is a case on macOS with
homebrew, where every package has its own $PREFIX).

I've fixed this on my fork: https://github.com/robohack/yajl (on the default "bsdmake" branch). There are other fixes also included in my branch, as well as a rewrite of the build system and documentation generation (to avoid the CMake disaster), as well as a full replacement for the pgksrc devel/yajl module.
