However it *also* provides the right -I flags to point at the include files. A GTK+ application will '#include <gtk/gtkbutton.h>' for example and require -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 to actually be able to find that (or -1.0, -3.0, etc.)
That's a good feature. Dunno whether I want that (or it can even be) in a .la file or not. But letting libtool output both information might prove valuable. Absorbing pkgconfig in libtool in a way that each pkgconfig user must use libtool will pave way for quote some resistance, I'd expect.
pkg-config does not issue the "right" -I flags. It merely proposes some based on where the package is installed. This is fine if the package is used in isolation. Sometimes these flags work ok in conjuction with flags from other unrelated packages, but other times it results in a bloody mess and wrong behavior.
