Thanks, but at least in kubuntu, there is no pc files for libfaac/faad:
madsdyd at ripley:~$ pkg-config --list-all | grep -i faac
madsdyd at ripley:~$

I do check 7 packages using pkg-config, but for e.g. mad, it turns out that 
the .pc file is specific to (k)ubuntu

Description: MPEG audio decoder development library
 MAD is an MPEG audio decoder. It currently only supports the MPEG 1
 standard, but fully implements all three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II,
 and Layer III, the latter often colloquially known as MP3.)
 .
 This is the package you need to develop or compile applications that use MAD.

I have added a check for that, because my own compiles at some point has 
required it? I could try without it though - would solve my "is the package 
present" problem :-)

Regards

Mads
