Which bit, the tricks to use pkg-config? I think the premise of that work (that build env scripts in $bindir should be arch-neutral) is dubious and I don't think it's appropriate to have upstream projects maintain the fugly hacks necessary to uphold that premise. There's a better argument that the contents of $includedir should be arch-neutral, something that APR fails on also, but a general solution for that would be hard too. Regards, Joe
