Is there a reason why gnutls-config and xml2-config aren't just tiny wrappers around pkg-config for backwards compatibility? IMO, it's kinda silly to have each package provide its own -config script with its own set of bugs, rather than having a shared set of bugs in pkg-config. :-)
1. Maybe they need to work on systems where pkg-config isn't available 2. Maybe they predate the existance of pkg-config 3. Some of the pkg-config bugs were bad enough as to make you want to avoid it 4. Custom config tools can often provide more info than available in pkg-config (plugin or config directories). -- Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://svana.org/kleptog/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
