Description

       This plugin probes for compiler and linker flags using ExtUtils::CBuilder.  This is a useful alternative
       to Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate for packages that do not provide a pkg-config ".pc" file,
       or for when those ".pc" files may not be available.  (For example, on FreeBSD, "libarchive" is a core
       part of the operating system, but doesn't include a ".pc" file which is usually provided when you install
       the "libarchive" package on Linux).
