How would that handle configurations where people have different library 
versions in different prefixes? Currently there's a kde-config, and you can 
have different kde-config binaries in different prefixes to choose which one 
to use. Would we use a different directory to be included in 
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH for each KDE/Qt installation ?

Just in case I've not been clear enough. Currently, I have:
antonio at tazend:~> pkg-config --libs qt-mt
-L/usr/lib/qt3//lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib/ -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lqt-mt 
-lpng -lz -lXi -lXrender -lXrandr -lXinerama -lXft -lfreetype -lfontconfig 
-lXext -lX11 -lm -lSM -lICE -ldl -lpthread

but I also have $QTDIR set to /usr/lib/qt3-head which is what is currently 
used to compile with the cvs version of Qt without having to use 
--with-qt-dir when running configure in kdelibs.

Greetings,
