Yes, it's possible, i can't think of any gain by doing so, but then i
can't think of any loss either.

Yes, the idea is to remove pkg-config, but i don't think this is a final
patch yet, it's more like a "let people test it and see if nothing
breaks" (things didn't break for a couple of projects i've run with the
patchset, but that may not be the case for everyone else).

Yeah, it was a copy, again, not a final patchset :)
