I can not belive it!!! I had almost the same problem, example:
pkg-config --modversion gdk-2.0 
delivered a message that pkg-config is unable to find gdk-2.0.pc in the search
path PKG_CONFIG_PATH ... although the right path was included there!

After examing the output of "pkg-config --debug --cflags gtk+-2.0" I wondered
that it searches for gtk+-2.0.pc on an alternative path starting with "c:\...",
so I reviewed my definidion of PKG_CONFIG_PATH and defined everywhere
fully-qualified paths, each one starting with drive letter
"c:\mydirs\..\pkgconfig". For the first this also did not funtion, so I
seperated the paths not with ':' but with semicolons ';' and enclosed the whole
string for PKG_CONFIG_PATH in "..." !!! This functioned finally, and pkg-config
works now! So to everyone trying to investigate into pkg-config and cygwin ...
forget this shit and do your work seriously in a real unix/linux environment! 
cheers!
