Using absolute path to locate the components in the "Libs:" field of the
*.pc can badly break cross-compilation, especially when building
statically linked objects.
Indeed, pkg-config automatically replaces the '-I...' and '-L...' paths
when the PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment
variables are set [1]. This feature is very helpful and common in
cross-compilation framework like Buildroot [2,3].
When there are absolute paths in the *.pc files, pkg-config won't be
able to do the path substitions for these paths when the afromentioned
environment variables are set.
In such case, since the prefix is the target one, not the sysroot one,
these libraries' abolute paths will point to:
- in the best case: a non-existing file (i.e. these files do not exists
on the host system;
- at worst: the host system's libraries. This will make the linking
failed because these host system's libraries will most likely not be
build for the target architecture [4].
So, this patch replace the components' absolute paths by the form:
-L<libdir> -l<libname>
This way, the linker will be able to resolve each dependency path,
whatever the kind of objects/build (shared object or static build) it
is dealing with.
Note that for static link, the library order does matter [5]. The order
of the opencv components has been carefully chosen to comply with this
requirement.

Note: this patch properly applies on top of the master branch, though it
has been written on top of the 2.4 branch.

Optimizing memory footprint by removing unused calls.

Added small example that illustrates how it should work.
superres module fails to compile with the following error messages:

This is caused because the return value of the createFrameSource_Video_GPU function should be a VideoFrameSource_GPU object.
ocl: Change static variable order in cl_context.cpp to avoid crashes during destruction
ContextImpl::currentContext contains a reference to one of the
DeviceInfoImpl objects from:
static std::vector<DeviceInfoImpl> global_devices;
ContextImpl::currentContext is destroyed in the destructor
for the statically defined object __module, and relies on its
DeviceInfoImpl reference to query some hardware features while
being destroyed.
This means that we need to ensure that the global_devices vector is
destroyed affter __module, otherwise ContextImpl::currentContext's
DeviceInfoImpl reference will no longer be valid when __module is
destroyed.
Since these variables are all confined to a single compilation unit,
they will be destruct from bottom to top, so we need to make sure
that __module is the bottom definition so it can be destroyed first.
