pkg-config is available on win32, but it's only used in msys environment 
(where you have a linux-like directory layout) -> the location of the pc 
files is not defined on windows. A path can be added with 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH (afaik), but imho this just makes the whole kde 
compilation more complex than we gain advantages from using pkg-config 
on win32.
