Why not unconditionally install all SUPPORT_FILES and
conditionally (based on PKG_CONFIG!=3DNO (?)) install CONF_FILES.

Otherwise, what's the effective difference between CONF_FILES
and SUPPORT_FILES, other than the variable name?


BTW: I ran into this problem with sun-jre14 as well, where jvm.conf
wasn't installed even though it's a SUPPORT_FILE as well...


Cheers,
Luke.
