I'm aware of it (and not opposed to it), but there are also criticisms
on pkg-config, for example:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2014-May/028473.html
I'm not sure if there was any consensus about it.

By the way, for your use-case, perhaps libunistring.m4 in Gnulib might
help.  It looks self-contained and you could just copy it into the m4
directory and call gl_LIBUNISTRING from configure.ac:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/m4/libunistring.m4
