You can not seriously think that we can count on pkg-config being
installed on a windows box before you can have cmake successfully
find qt? It maybe ported there, but I have never seen a single windows
machine that used it.

Sun, HP, IRIX, Mac OSX, and even some linux systems.
You may want to look at this thread:
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-buildsystem/2006-April/002223.html
If it was not possible to build/run qt applications on a machine that did
not have pkg-config, then I would say we should use it. However, that is not
the case. It is possible and even likely to have qt on a machine
that does not have pkg-config installed on it. Given that, cmake can
not depend on pkg-config being around. Since it is a requirement to
have a working qmake on any machine that has qt on it, and qmake can
give the information we need on any platform, then we have no choice
but to use qmake.
