.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Note: in most case you will want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate
instead.  It picks the appropriate fetch plugin based on your platform and environment.
In some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead.
.PP
This plugin provides Probe and Gather steps for pkg-config based packages.  It uses
PkgConfig::LibPkgConf to accomplish this task.
.PP
This plugin is part of the Alien::Build core For Now, but may be removed in a future
date.  While It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the time, it may not be appropriate to keep
it in core.  If it is spun off it will get its own distribution some time in the future.
