I never got any definite answer on this one.

simula-scons places generated .pc-files in the first writable path
found in PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which can be the directory of some other
library.

I consider this bad behaviour. I don't want the build system of pycc
to write to f.ex. my syfi installation directory. I don't want to be
root or mess with chmod each time I install f.ex. syfi during
development.

In the case of the dolfin build system, the files should rather be
placed in the dolfin directory. An explicit option to place the files
in another directory would be nice (but of course they should never
overwrite existing files).


Also, it would be nice to be able to write something like
  scons ... gtsDir=/opt/gts
instead of setting the environment variables like GTS_DIR.
