Well, whether SED'ing those .pc files should be part of the configure
step or the install step can really be discussed. If those .pc files
were used for the build process, then indeed, generating them should be
part of the configure step. But as far as I know, they are not used
during the build step. Those .pc files are only used for other packages
who want to link against lua. Therefore, generating them/installing
them in the install step is quite OK I believe, but I agree it's a
matter of definition of what each step should do, so there might be
different views/opinions.

Best regards,

Thomas
