What's wrong with just using qmake? But the question of pkg-config files 
for Qt has come up before, so I decided to give it a try. This is the 
result:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/530c8e01cf62

This produces .pc files that look pretty good. Would you mind trying out 
some? If there are no problems, I would like to submit these changes 
upstream.
