Does this also apply to other packages? (blas, ....)

How can I check that on a ready-built Octave (built using mxe-built
dependencies)? Does octave_config_info have that info?

AFAICS pkg-config gets built in mxe-octave, also on native MinGW.
To be able to build other Octave versions (see my build instruction just
uploaded to your other -GSOC- thread) PKG_CONFIG_PATH has to be set
explicitly - John D made a shell script for that.
