Well doing such a thing (ie switching from sdl-config to pkgconfig) is 
not really easy without coordination with the upstream, I don't really 
want to see our users having problem compiling sdl applications.

In short it is something to do, but we can't do that in a short time.

The solution I propose for now is to relibtoolize the package to get rid 
of the problem. This has been done in one of the last uploads, but I 
have just remarked there was an old copy of libtool.m4 hidden in 
acinclude.m4, that's why it has not worked.

I will try to do that soon (today or tomorrow).
