Hi,

looks like it is a good time to switch to pkgconf and replace ancient
pkg-config, right ?


What are the benefits ? Barely none for luser :)
In theory it should have a positive impact on building packages, by
building better optimized chain of dependecies when linking i.e.

pkg-conf: $ldflags -lbar -lfoo
pkgconf: $ldlags -lfoo

why only -lfoo, because pkgconf is smart enough and knows that -lfoo is
linked with -lbar already.

More info.
