If you visit my project (see signature) and read example log file
( http://appsfromscratch.berlios.de/build.first_run.log.txt ), you'll
see exactly how my tool sets PKG_CONFIG variable automatically for
each target being built.

If for any reason you do not want to use my tool, you can at least
use PKG_CONFIG info for targets you want to build.
