That's the problem, GtkMozEmbed was not officially supported, but
there were a few unofficial versions around that had been hacked into
a usable state. I don't think many of the patches ever made it into
trunk though.

This is misunderstanding.
No one is going to discourage GtkMozEmbed on MS Windows.

Well, timeless said "I hope to kill anything resembling such plans"
which seems pretty clear to me.

BTW, if someone is implementing something on plain GTK it is kinda
difficult to make it incompatible with MS Windows since GTK as you said
is cross-platform.
For this new GtkMozEmbed is more or less just to provide MSVC make
files and build instructions for WIN32, I think.

Well, it depends. GTK itself is cross-platform, but it does allow
access to some of the underlying platform specifics, so it's perfectly
possible to make a non-cross-platform GTK application. AFAIK making
GtkMozEmbed work under Win32 was not easy, because although on Linux
Mozilla uses GTK, on Win32 it uses native Win32 APIs.
