Issue compiling v0.11.0 on Windows #6458

The configure script wouldn't finish when trying to run in mingw32. I'm running on Windows 7, 64 bit but compiling a 32 bit v0.11.0.

Was finally able to configure and run make successfully by doing the following.

Added the following back into the v0.11.0 "configure.ac" script:
```
   m4_include([pkg.m4])
```
put the above line just before
```
  dnl pkg-config check.
  PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
```
and then copied the "pkg.m4" macro, from v0.10.2, back into the /c/bitcoin folder of v0.11.0.

compiling works fine with this workaround

Seems to be a problem with "pkg-config". Seems to be a few people out there complaining about issues compiling 32 bit apps on Windows with pkg-config. I have it installed correctly and can find it in the PATH but I still can't get it to compile v0.11.0 without the above workaround.

Looks like a duplicate of #6432, although more information in this one. @theuni can you take a look?

yea, the issue here is the unchecked usage of pkg-config in the qt macros. I'll fix it up.
