In the near future, atleast two packages depending on silc-toolkit will require silc.pc file to be installed in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH directory - net-im/gaim and net-im/silky. This is a 3rd-party initiative for now, as silc-toolkit author has been unavailable for several weeks now. People pushing this forward are close to the SILC development (one of SILCNet server admins and few developers). So, I'm attaching silc.pc customized for Gentoo, which should go to /usr/lib/pkgconfig. If noone objects, I will make a new silc-toolkit ebuild revision during the weekend, because we're about to release new version of Silky (which will need the file installed) on Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your time.

No objections from me, but please make the values in the .pc file dependent on the ebuild, i.e. Version: 0.9.12 should be Version: ${PV} just in case, the next release doesn't provide a .pc itself. Can be easily done by cat'ing the contents of the .pc in the ebuild with cat >file <<EOF. > libdir=/usr/lib > includedir=/usr/include should be > libdir=${prefix}/lib > includedir=${prefix}/include to be consistent.
-r3 ebuild has been committed to CVS. Correct silc.pc (tested by installing cvs version of Silky) gets installed and ebuild uses $(get_libdir).
