pkgconf already sucks on Linux when your packages are configurable, and sucks even more on Windows

  > pkgconf already sucks on Linux when your packages are configurable, and sucks even more on Windows Yes, but to be fair most things suck on Windows because that userbase only recently decided that portability is a good thing. As we move forward and Microsoft products stop being the odd one out, the suckage will get lower.

    Ah pkgconf now works on IBM, ARM, Sony, Nintendo, Unisys, Cisco, Green Hills, Apple, Google's platforms?

      None of those systems you mention particularly care about portability, right? That means your pkgconf support on those platforms are going to be as broken as on Windows, if not more.

        What portability? Pkgconf is GNU/Linux only anyway.

          Sorry, Mea Cupla - I kept reading it as 'pkg-config'.
