Re: BUG #2585: Please provide pkg-config support

Well, I use around 10 libraries in my project, it's easier to use standardized
methods to gather the compiler/linker options using pkg-config than calling
different configuration scripts for each one, and using "pkg-config --exists
$name" or "pkg-config --at-least=1.0 $name" than to check whether
the "pg_config" script (and so with the rest) exists in your path, and
figuring out ways to compare versions.  I was reporting it as a wish-list
item after all :)

Greetings.
