Of course there is nothing stopping you from making that symlink
yourself, but with the experience I have with different versions
of software and their clashing[sp] naming conventions I prefer to
make sure that I use the right sdl-config and not one which was
locally available as sdl-config and doesn't work for the source-files
I have. But then, who am I?
