29      Because of a growing number of config scripts for packages in GNOME 1.2
30      (e.g. glib-config, xml-config, orbit-config. etc), development of GNOME
31      2.0 spawned a separate tool called pkg-config that allows all packages
32      to use one tool rather than several different scripts to query compile
33      flags, link flags, and other configuration data.
34    
35      The functionality of pkg-config seems to me to have a lot of overlap
36      with the goals of libtool.  I was wondering if anyone had considered
37      adding an eighth mode to libtool that just queries the installed
38      library for the same information that pkg-config provides.  Since
39      most packages that use pkg-config also use libtool, I think this
40      would be a good way to reduce maintainer and developer dependencies.
