Re: Rethinking propagated inputs?

Hi Liliana,

(Efraim, I've Cc'd you since you're working on re-doing Rust inputs.)

I know nothing about pkg-config, but such an input would help
simplify things for Go (and I think for Rust) since many inputs need to
be propagated only at build-time.

What do you think of "build-propagated-inputs"?

(A quick search of the ML turned up one previous discussion [0]; does
anyone know of others?)
