Count of systems with pkg-config preinstalled: 1
Count of systems without pkg-config: 6 (incl. MacOS X & Win)

Is it really necessary to make developer's lives harder by imposing further 
package management tools upon them that don't even exist on the majority of 
the potential target platforms?

Especially as cmake already works without them *right now* as Alexander
