Actually, the code you excerpted was generated by this stanza in the 
pkg.m4 file:

   if test -z "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
     AC_PATH_PROG(PKG_CONFIG, pkg-config, no)
   fi

So, really, the problem is how *autoconf* expands/defines the 
AC_PATH_PROG macro.  Cygwin has recently updated to autoconf-2.53, maybe 
the code genereated by 2.53 is more to your liking?

Anyway, I think this is an autoconf issue, not a pkgconfig one.  So, the 
appropriate ChangeLogs to search would be the autoconf ones.

Hope that helps...
