This isn't how we install on Windows at all.  We use NSIS to
build installers.

And the aim of this project is to free developers from having to
use Windows at all, not to allow people to copy binaries onto a
Windows machine and continue development there.

The *.pc files contain the correct paths for cross-compiling
to a Windows host from a Fedora build system, which is precisely
the aim of this project.
