The issue being that all the gnuradio dependencies are distribution 
installable (on linux) so you dont need to set special paths and 
environment variables. However, UHD is not ready to be handed out as 
rpms and debs (though it can be) so it may need special paths set to use 
on operating system <X>.

However, it looks like gnuradio wants to set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH to 
include the ${prefix}/lib${lib_suffix}/pkgconfig. So, if you happen to 
use the same prefix and lib_suffix as you built for UHD, gnuradio should 
be able to find the uhd.pc file without you needing to set 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH by hand.

The problem with this being, if --prefix is not set, gnuradio sets this 
to NONE/lib${lib_suffix}/pkgconfig which isnt going to work. Maybe 
${ac_default_prefix} can be used when ${prefix} is set to NONE
