the canonical pkg-config is getting fat. it requires glib-2. it runs pkg- config when building. glib-2 requires pkg-config. whee.
for our normal systems, this isn't a big deal. but we'd like to enable a lighter alternative for embedded/alternative systems. as such, i'd like to introduce a virtual/pkgconfig that allows for selection of simpler (but compatible) implementations. we've got an implementation in perl (i'm not interested in), but there is also "pkg-config-lite" and "pkgconf". they should be compatible with the canonical pkg-config. they aren't yet in the tree, but will be once we agree on this topic. any comments ? -mike
