Thanks for posting this. I don't know much about pkg-config. I work
in diverse environments and that has an influence on my approach as
to what goes in. I can usually deal with problems in those
environments. If we ask OpenDKIM users to use packages, we can use
pkg-config as we do not have to deal with libraries in non-standard
locations. It will be difficult to answer some of the mailing
questions those as these packages are not always the latest release version.
