I understand the appeal of this solution, but at least on Debian it is seriously frowned upon. The maintainer of the Debian package would probably have to undo it and use the pkg-config interface anyway to get the package accepted.
What is the problem? Is it the licensing or the inclusion of a library that is already separately available as a package? I was really considering it specifically for use on Windows where mingw/msys doesn't include pkg-config (though I did manage to find a version on the gtk download site, so it's not really an issue any more).
