"Just install it" might not quite apply though.
On MinGW it is in the FAQ and either needs the full GTK runtime or an
alternative implementation it seems: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/FAQ
On cygwin you easily end up using the system pkg-config
which then will give you a lot of pain since you end up linking
against the cygwin zlib (which from my experience likes to end up
failing by crashing at runtime only) instead of the MinGW one for example
(PKG_CONFIG_PATH is only searched in addition, you can't remove the
default paths it seems).
