This comes from two deliberate decisions in Fink:

1. Every package that installs a *.pc file must have a dependency on the 
pkgconfig package.

2. The pkgconfig package links dynamically to Fink's libglib instead of 
statically to its own libglib.

In the case of libpng3, 1. is questionable, IMHO. It does not use 
pkg-config, it simply installs two files into /sw/lib/pkgconfig/.

As for 2., if you build pkgconfig, it needs glib. If you link to it 
statically, you can avoid having it installed afterwards, but you are 
building it anyway.
