Call me crazy, but I seem to recall a set of "programs" named sdl-config,
gtk-config, etc. which basically when called properly supply the exact 
set of C/C++ flags or linker flags required to properly compile these 
things. 

For that matter, I'm fairly sure vlc's configure script checks for and 
uses those programs.

So what exactly is the problem?
