And how are packages going to register their own data into pkg-config?
And how about maintaining multiple versions of the same package
installed?  I could do it with the current scheme, and tweaking PATH
is all it takes for me to choose which one a certain package will
find.  I don't see how you'd accomplish that with a single pkg-config.
