Those (a)-(c) points above are the most clear explanations of pkgconfig benefits I've heard on this list, and it appears reasonable to add pkgconfig support to Boost.Build. At the same time, I think we *first* should try to change the build process so that properly named libraries are created on Linux, so that things work even without pkgconfig.
let me stress the fact that sources using linux names would not be generally portable to other platforms.
What platforms you have in mind? If other Unix*, then if library names don't have toolset name in them, there's no problem. - Volodya
