This GTK+ program has had a well-defined job in the overall solution (quickly
generating
greyscale comma-delimited text files and printed output). The rest is done by
some Python
scripts. But there is always the chance that the user will have some new
requirement which
fits better in the GTK+ program.

It's good to know that the GTK+ build could be done on the Windows target. For
now, though,
I've grown used to the Linux ecosystem. 'Deployment' is done by a bash script
which runs 'make
mingw' (one of my Makefile targets) and copies the EXE and .py files to a
folder ready for
copying to the target Windows machine via sneakernet(TM). This is all that's
required for
this one-off custom solution. Once I understood the naming of the mingw tools
and set the
compiler to i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-5.3-win32 to match the bitness of the
runtimes, it was
plain sailing.
Thanks
