pkg-config is no exotic dependency that we have good reason to avoid.
I know that its easy to install that package. (Though I wonder whether the linvdr guys agree.) My point is just that its not a change-one-line-and-all-will-be-happy, it does add one more to the build dependency.
Basically we have two options here: 1 - keep a hard coded include path. That way some people would need to set up additional include paths manually. 2 - Use pkg-config. This way some people would need to install pkg-config to build VDR.
The question is: Which way would spoil more people? At least for me (s/me/Debian/), the default paths seem to be just fine. So I wonder: How many people need to set up different include paths?
Or even better: Is there a third way that works for both?
