-The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed
-libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link against one
-or more libraries.
-
-pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files.
-These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default,
-pkg-config looks in the following directories: ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig,
-${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig and ${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig for these
-files; it will also look in the list of directories specified by the
-PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
-
-The package name specified on the pkg-config command line is defined to be the
-name of the metadata file, minus the .pc extension. If a library can install
-multiple versions simultaneously, it must give each version its own name (for
-example, GTK 1.2 might have the package name "gtk+" while GTK 2.0 has
-"gtk+-2.0").
