Ok, I will check them.

I think the devhelp has already a search bar, no? I have disabled it at 
the moment and I think I need to install a newer version of Gtk to use 
it (I have a old system).

Ok, I will check it. I will need some time.

I think it will be better to add a properties in each project .wiz file 
to enable or not the Windows support. The goal is rather to make this 
option more visible to the user.

Good.

I see some disadvantage to use GResources, you cannot easily edit the 
.glade file and no big advantage on Linux. But I agree that it could be 
better on Windows.v. Anyway, I think we can have at least one project 
using GResources on both Linux and Windows if you find it useful.

I have a directory named i586-mingw32msvc here but not one named 
amd64-mingw32msvc. Moreover, I don't do this kind of check in the 
project wizard, we probably need to add some code if we do it here. Else 
perhaps we can add this in the configure script or describe this in the 
documentation only. It's quite open.
