Can you tell us how that is supposed to work in a cross-platform manner?
I don't see any QtCore.pc file in any of my Windows or Mac Qt installations.
That is probably why it was met with skepticism.

I also don't see any .pc files for static plugins if Qt is a static build.  Or 
is one supposed to deal with that manually when not using qmake and its 
internal knowledge of those plugins?

And last time I checked, pkg-config doesn't have official cross compiling 
support, unless there's something new and you can point me to it.
Also, CMake does support cross compiling with Qt.  It just needs a sensible 
installation hierarchy to be automatic.
