Thank you Mike.  I can use that -- hopefully the usage and availability 
of libdir will remain consistent over time at least in mono.pc and 
gtk-sharp.pc.  I will tailor my development of solutions based on the 
above.  I guess that the next step would  be to insure that 
pkgconfig.exe is redistribute at the lowest common denominator (I 
believe the Mono installer for Windows).  I am fully aware that it is 
not a problem to obtain pkgconfig.exe with cygwin in Windows, but I for 
one hope that cygwin will not become a prerequisite of Mono in Windows.  
However, I could volunteer to write a managed or unmanaged (statically 
link for "0" dependencies) counterpart of pkg-config.exe should that 
make any sense or become advisable.
