[Bug 1037588] Re: Provide pkg-config pc files

[Thomas Bechtold]

I tried to build gnome-control-center 3.6 from upstream git with
jhbuild. I think that's something important because  Ubuntu uses the
GNOME stack so Ubuntu users should be able to improve the software.

The argument that we lived without the .pc files for 3 years is a bit
weird - we also lived without unity for many years but it's here (and
it's cool).

And the bug http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/6981 is already
solved and the .pc files are generated. We just have to install the
files.

So what's the reason to not include the files?
