[STR Unresolved]

It is of course very valid to not want to do things twice.
But there is this problem with cups-config:

There is this check to exclude system library paths from
the -L... list generated:

    if test $libdir != /usr/lib -a $libdir != /usr/lib32 -a $libdir !=
/usr/lib64; then
        LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L$libdir"
    fi

The problem is that this is hard-coded.
And what should be considered system-libdir varies
from system to system, so the above list is not
always correct.

pkg-config, for example, determines this at configure time.
This would be an option here, too, because cups-config
is created by configure from cups-config.in.

If we could give cups-config this level of adaptability,
that would be great!

Cheers - Michael
