[Vm-dev] Building VM on windows: lining problem

[phil at highoctane.be]

I did a full fresh clone of the repo and now, there is a cairo issue I
hadn't before:

checking for cairo's PNG functions feature...
configure: WARNING: Could not find libpng in the pkg-config search path
checking whether cairo's PNG functions feature could be enabled... no
configure: error: recommended PNG functions feature could not be enabled
make[3]: *** [thirdparty/out/bin/libcairo-2.dll] Error 1
make[2]: *** [thirdParty/cairo/CMakeFiles/cairo.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [thirdParty/cairo/CMakeFiles/cairo.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [cairo] Error 2

Looks like the build stuff is quite f*kced up on a 64-bit Windows 8 OS and
current MinGW.
