cppunit-config is missing

[Ron Fox]

Prior packagings of libcppunit-dev included cppunit-config which could be used to determine proper compilation and link flags. (In fact this is used by autoconf's AM_PATH_CPPUNIT to configure cppunit in auto make).

This appears to be missing in bionic.

 daquser@bionic-beaver:~/SpecTcl/main/libtcl/exception$ cppunit-config
 cppunit-config: command not found

While e.g on 16.04 (Xenial):

 daquser@xenial:~$ cppunit-config
 Usage: cppunit-config [OPTION]...

....
Thanks,
Ron

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Sure, that script has been dropped upstream in 2016, so of course the new packaging doesn't have it.

Please move to pkg-config to get the compile and link flags.
