without having to know its particular install locations (assuming that
at least the popt.pc is in a standard location or at least in the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH -- or whatever the name of this variable is). So, yes
and no, it can be considered a little bit overkill for POPT, but in
general it is already useful just because it encapsulates/remembers
the
install locations.
Point taken. Good, there's a usage case at least. There's so
much fussing with popt for little known purpose.
