use -verbose flag with "pkg" command.

symbolic package now relies on pkg-config system to detect GiNaC.
This is because ginac-config script has been removed in 1.4.0 release
of GiNaC. IMO, the symbolic package should try both methods to
detect GiNaC (first pkg-config, then ginac-config). This will also be
a problem in my MSVC build.
