Thanks.  After doing that, I had to tinker a bit with the syntax for the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH value.  Once I settled on c:/foo/pkgconfig, instead of
c:\.... or /cygdrive/c/..., it all came together.  pkg-config's --debug
option was a great help there.

One thing I did that I'd be interested in counsel on, if indeed this is
the right place, is that I changed the name of pkg-config to
pkg-config-win, so I could use one or the other, depending on the
context for which an app is intended.  Am I just asking for trouble
doing that?
