Newer versions of freedesktop.org's pkg-config have a sane definition for what the --msvc-syntax feature should do.

Now that this exists, it may be reasonable to add support.

There's two options:

write a custom handler for this which renders the fragments appropriately
implement a custom fragment rendering API which would allow libraries to override the output format from pkgconf_fragment_render and friends.

Not sure which one is better honestly.

I think we will go with the rendering API approach.
