I think Jareks suggestions is a bad idea: the whole point behind pkg-
config is that *all* you need to know as a developers is the name of the
package. You do not need to know where the packages reside (there are
multiple locations configurable with PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable) or
which actual libraries a package needs. For example, gtk-sharp consists
of the gtk-sharp.dll, gdk-sharp.dll, pango-sharp.dll etc. In a future
release of gtk#, it'll probably add some more libraries (gnome-vfs-
sharp.dll). You do not want application authors to have to deal with
libraries/paths on their own. That's what got people to write pkg-config
in the first place :)
