Last thing I heard is that <packagename>-config is not l33t anymore, we
all should use pkg-config (see
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/).
Actually it *does* make sense to have one script and a bunch of config
files rather than a whole lot almost identical scripts containing config
data.

And yes, I'm interested :-)
