This would be no problem if there was glib-2.10.1 win32 binary
package available from where gtk-2.8.15 package is.

This wasn't a bad idea. But again - when one binary package require

They do have package managers which take care of dependancies - when
gtk is upgraded to a version compiled against newer glib then
