No, i am trying to use the linux pkg-config on linux to cross-compile
windows binaries on linux. pkg-config is just a program that parse some
.pc files and prints the resulting include/library options, nothing
really all that complicated. if the prefix of the .pc files pointed to
something reasonable under linux, it should even not need to be patched,
but maybe i am wrong.
