i have a two line shellscript that can replace 99% use of pkg-config, because its just grep and cut with few conditionals. that's why i was proposing to have a suckless pkg-config. I know that that suckless tends to prefer people doing static linking or no linking at all and having everything on fixed paths. But srsly, pkg-config is a nice way to allow people find libs and includes for a project. even if you want multiple versions of them you can select them by
changing the PKG_CONFIG_PATH for example which i find it handy.

I didnt knew that pkg-conf thing, but perl or 900 lines seems still too bloated for me.

It also depends on glib, which is at the top of the sucks list.
I don't care this particular implementation.  All I care is the idea of
pkg-config.  On OpenBSD there is another implementation, which is not
suckless (~900 lines of Perl), but it does not depend on glib.
