The distinction here is building from an Emacs distribution tarball
(which is what INSTALL is about) and building from the repository (which
is what INSTALL.REPO is about). pkg-config is a requirement of the
latter, not the former.
The assumption is that people building from the repository are expert
enough to use the extra development tools required, and to set up their
environments so that these extra development tools work. It shouldn't
be rocket science, and it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect
development tools to be installed correctly. This particular problem
seems isolated to Windows developers and I expect they'll work it out
among themselves.
