Sure! The problem to solve here is how to handle the different install
places (not everyone will find c:\wireshark\ a convenient place where to
put the Wireshark-winXX-libs directory). In my current cmake install I've
created an (environment) variable to specify that base path.
Apart from that: it would be helping because pkgconfig will allow us to
get additional information like other required libs, compile flags etc.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
