Well, did you actually try compiling pkg-config?  
I did not investigate deeply but the suggested way of compiling:

./configure
make

Did not work.  ./configure succeeded splendidly, but make
failed and the reason was that glib.h could not be found.

But I don't want to start a discussion in the GNUstep mailing lists on
how to install pkg-config.   I just wanted to see how it would work on windows.
