Hi,

It seems you forgot to read pkg-config/README.Win32; it says:
"On Unix, pkg-config is built using its own copy of GLib 1.2.8. On
Windows, we use the normal GLib available for Windows (2.0.x). Yes,
this does introduce a kind of circular dependency.

OpenBSD people have reimplemented pkg-config using Perl. You can
probably port it to Windows/Linux/Solaris/etc if you want to avoid
the circular dependency. (I am assuming that Perl doesn't depend
on glib/pkg-config or you can get binary version easily.)

In fact - perl is part of MSYS - the MinGW developers package.
