I'll make one for gapi too.... but the way I have it set up, I have
alot of other .pc files.  I have:

    * art-sharp.pc
    * atk-sharp.pc
    * gconf-sharp.pc
    * gda-sharp.pc
    * gdk-sharp.pc
    * glade-sharp.pc
    * glib-sharp.pc
    * gnome-sharp.pc
    * gnomedb-sharp.pc
    * gst-sharp.pc
    * gtk-sharp.pc
    * pango-sharp.pc
    * rsvg-sharp.pc

The rationale for this is for people can use which ever they want to 
compiling their programs.  I.e., if I want make a GNOME program,
all I have to do is:

    mcs MyGnomeProgram.cs `pkg-config --libs gnome-sharp`

(And this won't bind to Rsvg, GnomeDB, Gst, or anything else
they aren't going to use.)

(If we had only one gtk-sharp.pc, then it would have to bind every .dll
in the Gtk# family.)

I'd actually like to see more of a split.  For example, I'd like to
make what "pkg-config --libs gnome-sharp" (and others) return simpler.
And have stuff like:

    pkg-config --libs gnomecanvas-sharp

    pkg-config --libs gobject-sharp

    pkg-config --libs gmodule-sharp

Etc.  (That way people aren't binding to a bunch of extra things.)


See ya
