Sorry, Andreas, but in your rush to be negative about pkg-config without
even trying it yourself your logic has become suspect.  We get the message
that you don't like MSYS, but the fact that pkg-config works fine with MSYS
says nothing about whether it works without it or not.  Until Brandon or
some other non-MSYS windows user answers my specific question on that, we
just don't know.

I personally don't care whether you user pkg-config or not.  But I do object
when you go out of your way to be critical of it for a platform case where
you haven't even tried it yet.  I urge others here to wait until the facts
are in before they rush to judgement.
