I have never tried building gtk on win32, so probably won't be able to
help that much.  From posts to gtk-devel-list, it sounds like you need CVS
libtool in order to compile it on win32.  I don't know about the other
details.

It probably has build problems on x11 too, because the gtk-2.0.m4 autoconf
macro I was using is broken (it uses gtk-config-2.0 macro, which doesn't
exist anymore -- there is a bug in bugzilla about this).

As far as pygtk goes, you probably want to use the snapshot tarball,
rather than CVS, as the tarball is built with the CVS version of automake
(needed for python support).

James.
