What would you think is the default?

case 1:
download pkg-config, extract it, run configure, make, make install
and you end up with pkg-config installed in /usr/local/bin and the default 
search path will be "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig"
as the configure script sets:
 	pc_path='${libdir}/pkgconfig:${datadir}/pkgconfig'
if there is no '--with-pc_path=/my/path' given to configure.
case 2:
install an openSuSE-10.3 (i386) system with the prepackaged pkg-config RPM 
and you end up with pkg-config installed in /usr/bin and the default search 
path is "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:/opt/kde3/lib/pkgconfig"
case 3:
install a Debian-4.0 (x86_64) system with the prepackaged pkg-config DEB 
and you end up with pkg-config installed in /usr/bin and the default 
search path is "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/share/pkgconfig"
case 4:
install FreeBSD and install the prebuilt pkg-config package or built it by 
hand out of the ports tree and you end up with pkg-config installed in 
/usr/local/bin and the default search path is "/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"

Out of this four cases (there are probably more, one for every Linux 
distribution on this planet), tell me which is the most reasonable 
default?
