another anoying thing of pkg-config is that it uses longopt
--libs can be -l
--cflags can be -c
--list-all can be -a
--version can be -v
...
but if we want it to be compatible we should handle the longopt ones :(
the only "complicated" part is the version number comparison, because
its not just a number vs number, some packages use a very fucked up
version number. but i doubt we should support them. version numbers
should be *easy* to read and parse.

Well, install doesn't do any magic.
There is this.[1] But if the issue is unlinking a running target,
(a) how often is this an issue, considering one will often be make
install-ing to a package directory, and (b) isn't this what
POSIX cp -f is for?
