+Summary: gar.conf.mk overwrites PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+
+If there is already a PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable set in the enviroment when
+garnome is used it will be ignored.  
+
+In gar.conf.mk a new PKG_CONFIG_PATH is created without reference to the
+current varaiable.  
+
+This is a problem when the user has installed X into some non-standard
+location, such as /opt/XFree86-4.4RC2/.  It would be nice to be able to use
+gnarome as follows
+
+> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/XFree86-4.4RC2/lib/pkgconfig make paranoid-install
+
+but it will not find any Xfree pkg files.
