I'm not having much luck on my system with pkg-config at the moment.

GTK_INCLUDE_DIRS = C:/Program
GTK_LIBRARY_DIRS = C:/Program

Looks to be a problem with the pkg-config.exe I have and not FindPkgConfig
judging by the output of "pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0"

Also, I'm not sure how to configure pkg-config to give me debug libraries.
All I can figure is I would have to perform this step manually in CMake
script?

Aside from the fact that pkg-config will tell me about library dependencies
are there any advantages of using this tool within the context of CMake?  I
only ask because in my experience GTK has been fairly stable in it's
dependencies along the way from 2.0.  I know they added Cairo but exceptions
like that can probably be handled within a properly written and tested
FindGTK2.cmake
