Andreas, you should calm down. Nobody is forcing you to use pkg-config. However, your various negative generalizations do not convince me since pkg-config has been great for PLplot and many other Linux packages, and it it appears it is going to be completely straightforward (thanks to cmake) to extend its use to windows platforms without MSYS for the PLplot case. PLplot is is no way unique in the way it configures its *.pc files with cmake so it should be easy to extend the idea to other packages, and this will be good news for all the pkg-config dependent Linux packages which are being ported to windows right now using CMake.
