Sure, no problem. Doesn't just mean you should change the xy_DIR  
variable in defaults.sh as well, so that the build sever will expect  
libxslt in the versioned directory name as well? That way, the old  
directory will simply be ignored... Oh, this might still not yet work  
- all subsequent ("downstream") library will have to be rebuilt as well.

Changing the pkgconfig files is perfectly fine! After all, the path  
names in there represent just the build directory layout, so it is  
completely correct to edit the files so that they match the dir layout  
on where they are used.
