Such approach suffers the same problem as the {nss,nspr}-config
scripts: you need to use pkg-config data from both NSS *and* NSPR in
order to get all the needed header files' paths.

This shouldn't be a problem because pkg-config knows about dependenciesand will reflect their requirements in the generated command lines. Ifit does not, it's a bug in the distribution-provided .pc files.

The larger problem is that we do not particularly care about nss, wewant freebl, and at least Fedora doesn't provide a separate .pc file forthat. I suppose I could have that fixed for Fedora, but I don't knowhow painful the process is for other distributions.
