-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 #5672 made pkg-config a hard dependency for building obfsproxy. This seems
 to be a bad idea, since pkg-config is quite hard to build and install in
 Windows because of a circular dependency with glib [0].

 Furthermore, obfsproxy can be installed even without pkg-config by using
 the _LIBS and _CFLAGS environment variables.

 This ticket is about reversing #5672 or finding a better solution (if
 there is one.).
