[Mono-devel-list] libpkg-config ? was GAC and third party libraries: post Beta planning.

[Ian MacLean]

I just wondering if pkg-config functionality is available in a library 
form ? How is the proposed mcs pkg-config support going to be 
implemented ? I assume it won't be by shelling out to the pkg-config binary.

libpkg-config and maybe a pkg-config-sharp wrapper seem like they could 
be useful going forward.
