Is there a reason not to use PKG_CHECK_MODULES(), which will define _LIBS and 
_FLAGS variables automatically?  This would avoid encoding the use of 
pkg-config in the makefiles, limiting it to a configuration-time step.  On the 
other hand, I've never worked with pkg-config before, so reeducation welcome 
:-).
