GTK+, GTK+, GTK+ and.. um.. GTK+. OK, so I admit to having not thought very hard about this (did you guess? ;) ), but it is currently *very* difficult to package apps which use GTK+ well for Windows. In my experience, you either end up hand-picking the parts of it you need and bundling them in your own app's installer (which instantly bloats what might be only several hundred kilobytes of installer to 10MB+, unless I'm doing it wrong), or you depend on having the "GTK+ Runtime" installed, which is fine for those that do but an even bigger download for those that don't. To put it shortly, it's a mess, and sorting it out would be a big enabler to porting all sorts of things (which either aren't currently ported, or are ported but with installers that suck).
