Benoit Chesneau updated COUCHDB-1012:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-add-couch-config-file-used-to-ease-the-build-of-plug.patch

new version of the patch that should close this ticket. 

new usage:

add couch-config file used to ease the build of plugin

Usage :

    $ ./bin/couch-config_dev
    Usage: couch-config_dev [OPTION]

    The couch-config_dev command runs the Apache CouchDB configuration
helper
    script.

    Options:

      --erl-libs-dir    Erlang library directory
      --config-dir      configuration directory
      --db-dir          database dirrectory
      --view-dir        view index directory
      --static-dir      static asset directory
      --doc-dir         documentation directory
      --uri-file        daemon sockets file
      --log-file        log file
      --couch-version   version of Apache CouchDB
      --couch-bin       couchdb binary
      --version         version of couch-config_dev
      --help            Print usage

    Report bugs at <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB>.

I kept  log-file since, we have only a log file. Once jan will commit access log (already in couchbase) we could add access-log as well. Also since view dir can be different I kept this option as well. 

If it's OK will commit it later today.

> Developers may want to write plugins (like GeoCouch) for CouchDB. Many hooks in the configuration system allow loading arbitrary Erlang modules to handle various internal tasks, but currently there is no straightforward and portable way for developers of these plugins to discover the location of the CouchDB library files.
> Two options that have been proposed are to use pkg-config or install a separate script that could be invoked (e.g. as couch-config --erl-libs) to discover important CouchDB installation paths.
> As far as I know the loudest argument against pkg-config is lack of support for Windows.
