Ciao,

  is  there a  specific reason  for Guile  not to  install a
pkg-config meta file? It should be as simple as putting:

   prefix=/usr/local
   exec_prefix=${prefix}
   libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
   includedir=${prefix}/include

   Name: Guile
   Description: GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for
Extensions
   Version: 1.8.1
   Libs: [stuff from guile-config link]
   Cflags: [stuff from guile-config compile]

or something into "${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/guile.pc".

I do not use pkg-config but I am starting to put
meta files in my distributions, because it is so
easy to offer this one more option...

No.  It's a good idea and it helps in some cases (e.g.,
cross-compilation).  Many people already suggested this and I think it
will appear "sooner or later" in HEAD.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
