I seem to have both pkgconf and pkg-config, and on Archlinux both

I used pkgconf as suggested by an Archlinux packager. Don't know
if this is the best choice to support other distros.
No, it's not.
Anyway, all that is required is -I/usr/include/freetype2 and maybe
that is what I should use.
Please don't.
Agree on both accounts. Just use 'pkg-config' like everybody else.
I don't.
pkgconf [1] is a valid replacement of pkg-config (by implementing it
with even more features and better .pc handling) and available on many,
if not all, distros (e.g. [2] [3] [4]). In some it is even the default
by now.
Additionally, this is all better, than relying on a convenience layer
hack job, such as the `freetype-config` script (that should've never
even been part of pkg-config to begin with).
Best,
David

But why do you prefer to abuse users experience to promote a
replacement, when a simple silence replacement is already in place?
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.
