Ouch. This is spreading.

We were sortof trying to get rid of them anyway, no? It might be a nice
project to run around and bug upstreams about adding pkgconfig files.
That's a nice build-system-agnostic way to handle this. They will be
useful even once CMake vanishes into oblivion;-)

Damn, this is a good time to get something implemented around the
proposal that Jaka had about this in 2008. Ten years ago! Dispel stuff
in an overlay fs (castfs), cast without deps, cast again … then install.
I wish I had time. I wonder if the script would be an acceptable
solution. One cast modifying installed files of other spells to fix
them … Somewhere there's a general scheme of a concept there.
I would be nice if we could solve this with a general approach to the
cyclic dependcies. No special hacking.
Alrighty then,
Thomas
