DESCRIPTION

       This plugin provides Probe and Gather steps for pkg-config based packages.  It picks the
       best "PkgConfig" plugin depending your platform and environment.

PROPERTIES

   pkg_name
       The package name.  If this is a list reference then .pc files with all those package names
       must be present.  The first name will be the primary and used by default once installed.
       For the subsequent ".pc" files you can use the Alien::Base alt method to retrieve the
       alternate configurations once the Alien is installed.

   atleast_version
       The minimum required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.

       The exact required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.

   max_version
       The max required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.

   minimum_version
       Alias for "atleast_version" for backward compatibility.

METHODS

       Returns the name of the negotiated plugin.

ENVIRONMENT

           automatically pick the best plugin.
