-<p>
-Pkgconfig files (foo.pc) are common interfaces to standardize access to
libraries
-across distros. It is important that these are never modified, created or
renamed
-anywhere except upstream. Report bugs, write patches and send them upstream,
but
-don't mess with them in your ebuild unless it's a trivial (like adding
libsuffix)
-or unavoidable fix (which should be discussed with other devs first).</p>
-<p>
-Ignoring this policy can result in breakage for other distros and also breaks
-the purpose of this interface, because it is not reliable anymore.
