[Expat-discuss] [PATCH] Add pkg-config support

[Dan Nicholson]

Hi,

This patch adds a pkg-config file for expat. Using pkg-config makes it
easy to link libexpat into your application:

cc `pkg-config --libs expat` -c -o foo foo.c

This has the values substituted from configure, and uses the expat_version()
macro to find the version number. That might not be the most robust way to
handle this. You must 'cvs add expat.pc.in' to get the whole patch.
