By chance, I was just setting up gtkmm on my windows computer at work
the other day.  I had the same issue.  I looked in my
C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig directory and found libpng13.pc and libpng.pc, so
I just edited the cairo.pc file and changed the Requires.private line
to specify libpng instead of libpng12 (if you open the libpng.pc file
you see that it's named libpng12 internally).  I'm not sure why
there's a mismatch here (a windows packaging issue??) but it's pretty
easy to fix manually.
