Thank you both for your explanations.
A new "pkg-config-dev" package is now available on
http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php (and win64.php). It contains pkg.m4
and the man page, just as the previous version did.
I will modify the buildenv to regenerate this package in the next builds.
Regards,
Tarnyko
