pkg-config should use for the uninstalled pc file automatically.

Maybe our change to the pkg-config path fails because it has unix directory
seperators instead of window ones?

Could you try changing the following line to use windows style seperators?:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:"$ac_top_build_prefix"lib/ext/wocky/wocky

We did the change from Loudmouth to wocky by using a small compatibility layer.
As you can see in gabble there is now lib/loudmouth directly which basically
implements the part of the Loudmouth api we used in terms of wocky, so you
don't need Loudmouth anymore :)
