That's what I needed to know.

It's been a little while since I ran into any errors, but here's a
couple things I recall offhand.

One thing that's always jumped out is that you need to be pretty
familiar with what's going on to get the dependencies in place and set
the variables correctly. For instance, linking to libdrm just blindly
calls `pkg-config --libs libdrm`. There's no check that this is
successful.

Also, linking to the correct X location requires setting two seemingly
unrelated (and undocumented) variables: X11_INCLUDES and
EXTRA_LIB_PATH. Only some concentrated grepping uncovered this.

Another thing I just recalled is that I can't pass any LDFLAGS when
building the libraries. It would be nice if mklib respected LDFLAGS.
