Basicly I am using QMake here.  I have KDE4 and KDE3 installed.   I would l=
ike=20
to have a .pri file that I can include and then be able to build 3rd party=
=20
KDE applications.  I actually think your suggestion to make kde-config awar=
e=20
of pkg-config installations would be the best fix.  This will become more=20
important as KDE 4 becomes released because developers may wish to develop=
=20
against the released KDE 4 and a svn snapshot.   With kde-config knowing=20
Since on the off chance you want to develop against older versions of KDE (=
a=20
MUST for 3rd party development) you will  where the pc files reside, it wou=
ld=20
be trivial to switch between the two.

The only reason I would think a proxy for pc would be marginally better wou=
ld=20
be simplicity for the user (since pc support in autocrap afaik needs help=20
when you want to do nonstandard things).  I am pretty sure though the cost=
=20
for the gain is not worth it.
