Not all packages use the pkg-config database, so if it doesn't list 
anything then you don't have any.  Do not confuse Cygwin packages with 
those that populate the pkg-config DB.

For example, but some of these where built not installed as Cygwin packages:

Cygwin doesn't have ldconfig, that's a Linux program.
