i can't agree more.

i would even say VDR is broken in the way it handles plaugins. VDR's
Makefile should install all exported vdr headers in
$(PREFIX)/include/vdr and provide a vdr.pc file (as you suggest). then
plugins could be buildable outside of VDR's source directory and
install themself in $(PREFIX)/lib/vdr. as any other plugin capable
program out there i know.

just my 2 cents ...
