I'm not abusing anyone.
If at all, I was assuming wrongly, that this
would actually be used more widely already (and apparently it is - on
newer systems).
Using pkg-config means that it works on any system,
even older ones,
as pkgconfig provide a symlink to pkg-config and replace it therewith
"really", without trouble for anyone.
That's correct.
However, if one has to sed the Makefiles to remove optimization (for
packaging), it's not a big step to do a `sed -e 's/pkgconf/pkg-config/g'
-i Makefile` either. ;-)
All in all I'm happy the Makefiles see some overhaul after all this
time!
Thanks Fons (and sorry for getting you in pkgconf vs. pkg-config
trouble)!
