Yes pkg-config is not ubiquitous. My idea is using it as a fallback, so that non-standard paths can be picked up easily. > Note the bootstrap issue with that idea though; you'll need to make sure _posixsubprocess is built before importing subprocess. distutils.spawn.spawn or os.system can be used. setup.py uses the latter.

distutils.spawn.spawn or os.system can be used. setup.py uses the latter.
