Content preview: yes that was a not a great analogy - my example was only meant
   to be general advice for any arbitrary dependency - it did not fit well for

   correct that the very purpose of makefiles is to abstract over system-specifics
   in the tool-chain (and pkg-config itself is for abstracting system-specific
   library filenames) - if the two pkg-config binaries had different filenames
   then it would perhaps call for a new makefile variable like: $PKGCONF [...]

in this particular case, as you noted, it is entirely a moot point
because those tools are binary-compatible; so the difference should be
of little or no concern to anyone - also, they are just auxiliary
build helper tools and not linked or sourced libraries, so even the
licenses are of no importance
