Using different versions of a library or cross-compiling will always require manual setup of include paths anyway. How should any magic configuration tool know which of the installed headers should be used anyway? There is _one_ currently installed default version of the headers for this machine, and the question is why these headers are not at a default location, esp. since the binaries seem to be at a default location, or? (btw. in case I do have two sets of include files and I need to switch between them: Changing an INCLUDE= is pretty obvious, but how do I tell pkg-config or freetype-config what I want to compile?)
