Yes, mingw-winapi should be updated. You can file a bug if you wish...

You just need a simple environment variable set to use pkgconfig under 
MinGW. There is no need to have a mingw-pkgconfig package.

Example:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig 
pkgconfig --libs gtk+-2.0
