Yeah, the question is: how long? Everything nowadays is done by
pkg-config..

Not that argument again, plese...
It is not an argument, pkg_config is a requirement for many projects. I
had to use it for other 'things'. The package configure program tracks
many projects and would ease whether or not a dependent project is
current and meets build requirements or if a newer version is needed.
Why does the OpenOffice.org project not want to use it (I don't know why)?
