Well one of the main problems of osg-config is that it contains paths
which are generated at compile time (configure probably) . However the
installed path for the libs/includes don't match whats in the osg-config.
If this issue where solved then osg-config can be installed to /usr/bin
or we can provide a wrapper around pkg-config called osg-config.
A quick example if this to allow osg-config to return the cflags and
libs is attached.
BTW I'm also putting OpenSG forward for revu to go into the main Ubuntu
archives for hardy, so feedback on this would be great.
