Hi,
In your opinion, what is the cleanest fix for systems without pkg-config 
or systems which link to dependant libraries but with different names.

Schrodinger headers are not installed in standard areas where they can 
be just picked up by the compiler without adding some "-I"s or some 
modification to the headers themselves.
