Thank you for your advice.
I added the description of PATH separator based on your advice.

- 0001 icu
- 0002 libxml
- 0003 libxslt
- 0004 lz4
- 0005 tcl
- 0006 zlib
- 0007 zstd
These libraries could not be built by setting extra_include_dirs and extra_lib_dirs.
These libraries may not have .pc file created.
For example, if I use msc (Visual Studio) to build zLib, zlib.pc is not created.
Could you tell me which libraries can use this option?
