Well, I use around 10 libraries in my project, it's easier to use standardized methods to gather the compiler/linker options using pkg-config than calling different configuration scripts for each one, and using "pkg-config --exists $name" or "pkg-config --at-least=1.0 $name" than to check whether the "pg_config" script (and so with the rest) exists in your path, and figuring out ways to compare versions. I was reporting it as a wish-list item after all :)
