.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
+\fIxine\-config is DEPRECATED. Use pkg\-config instead.\fP
+.PP
\fIxine\-config\fP is a tool that is used to determine
the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile
and link programs that use \fIlibxine\fP. It can also be used to determine
-the directories where \fIlibxine\fP expects plugins and skins.
-Finally, it's also used internally
-by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with \fIxine-lib\fP.
