<p>What do you all think about adding the ability to manually add compiler and linker flags in the package manifest? This can already done with the `-<span>Xswiftc` and `-<span>Xlinker` arguments on the command line, but I think it would nice to be able to
set these a bit more permanently. A couple ways I figure this could be done are</span></span></p>
<p><span><span><br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>1. Add the package directory to the pkg-config search path. Then the arguments can be set by a `.pc` file in the package</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>2. Add two arguments to the `Package` definition, one for the cc flags and one for the linker. Perhaps they'd just be named 'Xswiftc' and 'Xlinker', but other names may be better.</span></span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This maybe isn't very useful for package written in Swift, but for system modules and packages with C code I think it would be very helpful</p>
