pkg-config works on Windows. That's how we're able to build Gtk2Hs on Windows; because the Gtk+ SDK for Win32 comes with pkg-config and the appropriate '.pc' files for each C lib. So, yes I can imagine a future Cabalised Gtk2Hs that can build from source on Win32 without needing MSYS for make, bash etc. Of course it's mostly Unixy software that uses pkg-config, but when such software is ported to Windows it usually still uses pkg-config.
