Does pkg-config give the information for the pathname of moc?
(the original question by Hin-Tak was asking about the
appropriate path to use moc command)

In my understanding, pkg-config is primarily designed to
provide the information to compile & link the libraries,
not designed to provide the information about the binary
executable commands.
