I'd vouch for actually using pkgconfig instead of clumsy *-config scripts, which makes this a one-liner per package.
For benefits of others, putting the actual thing I used with help from answer provided by j0rgensen above. Hope it will help someone sometime :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
