Re: [Libvisual-devel] pkg-config and library madness !

I somewhat admire synap's patience in the response he made.

It's clear that you're the one who has never thought about the issue,
nor have experience dealing with parallel installable libraries. But
apparently, that didn't stop you from being vociferous.

Next time, don't assume we're idiots. You can question nicely if you
think we made a mistake.
