All packages use pkg-config as a native input.

This is the directory structure of squashfuse. It doens't include the Find* but
it contains a pkgconfig file. I'm not sure if it's located in the correct
path though.

This is the only reference I find to squashfuse so I don't know what's the
mechanism they are doing. In cmake/dependencies.cmake they are not searching
for squashfuse neither...
