 	<h4>About pkg-config</h4>
 	<p>This program is useful for Makefiles and extensively used in building software according to the GTK+ and GNOME conventions using autotools. It uses a <q>database</q> specifying inter-dependencies among software packages. It is used to get the compile and link flags needed when building software using libraries that provide pkg-config data. This requires GLib 2.x.</p>
