of course, thats not what i meant though
ive been more thinking of

/usr/include/foobar-1.2.3
/usr/include/foobar-1.2.4
/usr/include/foobar-1.2.5

and in this light using pkgconfig vs a symbolic link of /usr/include/foobar
to find it, that is if there is any sense (there likely is not) in such
changing header locations.
