  Description     : a pkg-config replacement

 pkgconf is a replacement for pkg-config, a system for managing library
 compile and link flags that works with automake and autoconf.
 .
 As far as it's known to date, pkgconf is compatible with all known
 variations of this macro. pkgconf detects at runtime whether or not it
 was started as 'pkg-config', and if so, attempts to set program options
 such that its behaviour is similar.
 .
 pkgconf builds an acyclic directed dependency graph. This allows for
 the user to more conservatively link their binaries — which may be
 helpful in some environments, such as when prelink(1) is being used. As
 a result of building a directed dependency graph designed for the
 specific problem domain provided by the user, more accurate
 dependencies can be determined. pkg-config, on the other hand builds a
 database of all known pkg-config files on the system before attempting
 to resolve dependencies, which is a considerably slower and less
 efficient design.
 .
 pkgconf does not bundle any third-party libraries or depend on any
 third-party libraries.
