Completely understandable.

We'll see...

It does.

$ pkg-config --list-all
aqbanking                      AqBanking - A library for online banking 
functions and financial data import/export
atomic_ops                     The atomic_ops library - Atomic memory 
update operations portable implementation
bdw-gc                         Boehm-Demers-Weiser Conservative Garbage 
Collector - A garbage collector for C and C++
guile-2.2                      GNU Guile - GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent 
Language for Extension
[...]0

But for cmake / pkg_check_modules only the packages from 
gcdev64/msys2/mingw32/lib/pkgconfig are visible.

Strange...
