win32 dlls do not allow unresolved symbols at link time, and this is  
the cause of all your pain.  gtk2perl_new_gtkobject is defined in the  
Gtk2.dll installed with the Gtk2 module.  there's code at the end of  
Gtk2's Makefile.PL to find Glib.lib (the linking library for Glib.dll)  
at compile time for the same reason.  i would've sworn i'd added the  
same kind of code to GladeXML's Makefile.PL, but apparently i got  
sidetracked trying to abstract it to avoid copying code all over the  
place.

basically, you can grab the find_extra_libs() function from the end of  
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gtk2-perl/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2/ 
Makefile.PL?rev=1.90&view=markup and add a check for Gtk2.lib (you  
still need Glib.lib).  that same file should give you an idea of how to  
use it.
