library infrastructure roundup

[John Meacham]

random question, I have not been paying too much attention to the
conversation, but in the proposed schemes, are there ways to install
libraries local to a user? I don't always have root access on machines
which I need to compile programs. Just a thought.

Also, one might want to look at the design of pkg-config, which is a
generalization of the whole (gtk|foo|bar)_config concept. i believe
there is info on freedesktop.org and probably pkg-config(1) on recent
linux boxen.
