OK, this is getting a bit off topic, but as a longtime Windows
developer, pkg-config is a unix solution ported to Windows.  It isn't
a solution or mechanism that is commonly used on Windows (except by
unix developers working on Windows).  CMake is intentionally cross
platform from the beginning instead of being a unix oriented solution
ported to Windows.  YMMV but I think CMake based solutions (i.e.
FindXXX cmake modules) are preferable to pkg-config based solutions.
With a CMake module you can use pkg-config on Unix oriented systems if
it is available and can give you an answer.  However, you still hae to
handle the situation where pkg-config doesn't know about the
underlying thing or can't find it, so you still need something that
isn't pkg-config based anyway.
