I agree that good pointers and docs on the LV2 site could be a solution. But,
one concrete reason is that for example, you don't have anything like aptitude
install lilv on other OSes. I think that we don't see the need for SDKs on Linux
because we have distributions and smart packaging systems, which gracefully
handle dependencies.
