I disagree with the premise that Cygwin has broken it. It's an
incompatible change, sure, but it does make sense. And using pkg-config is
absolutely the right thing to do under Unix systems, quite independently of
what Cygwin does.

Oh, I completely forgot about it. This definitely doesn't affect lmi.
