9 since it's specific to the sci case, i wouldn't be against keeping it in the
10 sci eclasses. the current situation as outlined by Justin sucks either way
11 (not saying it's sci teams fault, just that it's a pita situation to deal
12 with).

14 what is a problem is adding a generic "pkgconfig.eclass". that encourages
15 other people to add it to their own random packages since it
16 looks/sounds/tastes like a generic & encouraged solution.
