To reinforce Hendrik's point, http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/ has the
following to say:

"pkg-config works on multiple platforms: Linux and other UNIX-like operating
systems, Mac OS X and Windows. It does not require anything but a reasonably
well working C compiler and a C library, but can use an installed glib if
that is present. (A copy of glib 1.2.8 is shipped together with pkg-config
and this is sufficient for pkg-config to compile and work properly.)"
