They're installed by the packages' .pc files (usually in the -devel package).
You can get a list of currently installed pkg-config packages with:
pkg-config --list-all
You'll have to run this command in the SDK sb2 target to get the pkg-config
packages installed there.
See: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/
It's just an alternative/easier way of specifying your package dependencies,
because instead of knowing how the package is named in the distro (e.g.
libfoo42-devel), you already know the pkg-config package name, such as "foo"
when you use e.g. CONFIG += link_pkgconfig and PKGCONFIG += foo in qmake (and
in case the RPM name changes, your package will still build, as it refers only
to the pkg-config name).
Protip: You can also use "zypper in pkgconfig(foo)" to install the development
packages of something that provides "foo" to pkg-config without hunting down
the RPM package name.
HTH :)
