I already installed it in a non-default location. The "EFBuilder 6.1" part of the path comes from the installation itself. I set the installation directory to "d:\NAG".

I just examined the PATH variable: it contains the directory "D:\NAG\EFBuilder 6.1\bin". I suspect that CMake finds pkg-config.exe via this path. So we are pretty much stuck with this behaviour.
