Like.. gcc which is, more or less, the only compiler used for free

pkg-config builds fine with Microsoft Visual C++ or the Sun Studio
compilers too, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with
any other C compiler either (apart from a few bugs in the Makefile.am
which I haven't gotten around to fixing yet, but they're trivial to
work around if you need to).
