   What would be the advantage of this?

   Just an idea to make manual linking easier. Now that I think about it, a pkg-config script would probably do the same?

   Isn't that something that would typically be solved in downstream packaging?

   That said, contributions welcome!

   The .pc files for a library are normally created by the library's build system, typically from a template file: https://www.scivision.dev/cmake-generate-pkg-config/

   edit: I see there is a .pc file already

   That file was contributed externally as well. Thus, contributions welcome.
