Bug#1095250: frotz FTCBFS: upstream Makefile changes broke cross compilation

frotz fails to cross build from source for two reasons. For one thing,
upstream renamed the variable PKG_CONFIG to PKGCONF_BIN and
dh_auto_build does not supply the latter. As a result, frotz uses the
build architecture pkgconf and fails finding many of the required
libraries. For another ux_defines.h is listed in .PHONY and thus rebuilt
on every invocation. This incurs a rebuild during make install, but
dh_auto_install does not pass cross tools to make install and hence the
wrong toolchain is being used there. I suspect upstream wants
ux_defines.h to always get rebuilt, but that runs counter to the general
idea of building during dh_auto_build. I'm not sure dropping it from
.PHONY is something acceptable upstream, but it is necessary on the
Debian side. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience.
