I'm not implying anything. This thread was created by the question asked by 
Alexander Neundorf, if pkg-config under Windows works or not. I say that it 
works for me, and I've given examples and answered a few technical questions 
about it. I'm not advocating to change your buildsystem.

You say that you don't want pkg-config because it is not pleasant for your 
taste. Ok, this is your decission, based on arbitrary reasons, but I accept 
it. Lets remember this discussion the next time Gnome ignores "our"  
contributions to FDO.
