What I don't understand is how pkg-config is going to find the
configuration info of the various packages.  I hope it's not going to
require having them all installed in the same prefix.  One of the
beauties of the *-config scripts is that all one had to tweak to get
them to work and get the respective libraries found is the PATH (or a
directory containing links).
