The previous discussion starts here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2004-08/msg00433.php
That requestor got off to an extremely bad start by presuming that
a documentation-free patch with no prior discussion would be a
sufficient way of proposing a new feature. However there are a
couple of pretty compelling points mentioned later in the thread,
particularly the issue of multiple installations on one machine.
(And does pkg-config still not distinguish CPPFLAGS from CFLAGS?)
Since that was two years ago, maybe we should take another look
and see if pkg-config has gotten better. If it hasn't evolved
some then the answer will probably be the same though.
