+pkg-config is a script to make putting together all the build
+flags when compiling/linking a lot easier.
+
+to use it, do something like the following in your configure.in
+
+    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GNOME, gtk:1.2.8, gnomeui)
+    AC_SUBST(GNOME_CFLAGS)
+    AC_SUBST(GNOME_LIBS)
+
+This puts the neccesary include flags to compile/link something against
+libgnomeui and all its dependencies in $(GNOME_CFLAGS), and the -L/-l flags
+for linking in $(GNOME_LIBS)
+
+The gtk:1.2.8 part is only neccesary if you want to specifically check
+if libgtk is version 1.2.8 or higher. otherwise, the flags for gtk
+will be included automatically, since libgnomeui depends on gtk.
