pkg-config is a Gtk/Gnome utility, not a Linux utility.  If you're
using Gtk/Gnome on *ANY* platform, you will be dealing with
pkg-config. A *.pc file is a plaintext file that helps set up the
compiling machine's environment so that you can compile and link
against the libraries for Gtk/Gnome (and friends).

 *.dll files != *.pc files. PKG_CONFIG_PATH is only used to point to a
directory containing *.pc files.

You need to find the gstreamer-0.10.pc file.  There's a -dev package
on the website you linked earlier, have you installed it yet?  Your
.pc file is probably in there.
