Bug Description
Mir installs headers under:
/usr/
/usr/
/usr/
/usr/
This allows you to include <mir/foo.h> or <mir_toolkit/
pkg-config mirclient --cflags
I think it would be nicer if we used install paths that did not force developers to depend on pkg-config. That means using:
/usr/
and maybe
/usr/
This problem has already caused confusion for one client developer as seen in bug 1161064.

No, no, no, no. This isn't the 1980's. We need to be able to version headers correctly.
