cygwin's pkg-config executable does not understand windows paths -- nor 
is it intended to do so.  A native pkg-config executable will not 
understand cygwin paths -- nor is IT intended to do so, either.

a native-built package (like, gtk+-2.0 from 
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/) will include .pc files that have 
windows paths in them.

a cygwin-built package (like the X11 gtk2 package installed by cygwin 
setup) will include .pc files that have cygwin paths in them

See the problem yet?

*do not mix native packages and cygwin packages, nor native 
pkg-config.exe and cygwin pkg-config.exe, nor native .pc files and 
cygwin .pc files*
