<div>Hello,</div>
<div>This rudimentary script shows that pkg-config's performance when building a depended chain. It is extremely quick when the chain length is under 12, but seems to slow down exponentially becoming unacceptably slow after about 16. I know of some scientific
libraries that have 50 length dependency chains . Is there a simple method to increase the performance and these longer lengths. I know all libraries for a single product could be put into a single pc file, but it seems like a shame to loose the single library
"addressability" .</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Sean B.</div>
