pkg-config is a helper tool used when compiling applications and
libraries. It helps you insert the correct compiler options on the
command line so an application can use gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config
--libs --cflags stk0`  for instance, rather than hard-coding values on
where to find STK (or other libraries).
