Does pkg-config work under Windows? I haven't used this much, but ftgl's
pkg-config says that it needs freetype:

ftlg.pc:
============================================
prefi=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: FTGL
Description: OpenGL frontend to Freetype 2
Version: 2.1.3~rc5
Libs: -L${libdir} -lftgl
Requires.private: freetype2
Libs.private: -lGLU -lGL -lm
Cflags: -I${includedir} -I${includedir}/FTGL
============================================

freetype2.pc:
============================================
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: FreeType 2
Description: A free, high-quality, and portable font engine.
Version: 9.18.3
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype -lz
Cflags: -I${includedir}/freetype2 -I${includedir}
============================================

It seems there are even autoconf macros for it, so maybe we could get
rid of all of this guessing.
