pkg-config is just used to read .pc files. No need to install the Windows 
pkg-config, the linux one is just good of course :) and as pkg-config uses 
glib, you don't need the Windows version

it is true, as it is in the linux part of the doc.

it will not :)

be sure, with each library (evil eina, etc.. and the dependencies) that 
you have the dll. Otherwise, it will fail. For exemple, in evil, look in 
src/lib/.libs. The dll should be here.

also, please report any problem wrt the doc
