+For people compiling GTK+ on Visual C++ 2005 or later, it is recommended
+that you build GDK-Pixbuf, Pango, atk, glib with the same compiler to avoid
+crashes and errors caused by the usage of different CRTS.  VS 2008
+project files and/or VS Makefiles are either already available in these
+packages or will be available in the next stable release.  Unfortunately
+compiling with Microsoft's compilers (version 2003 or earlier) is not
+supported as compiling GLib requires features from the newer compilers
+and/or the newer Platform SDKs at this time of writing.
 
 After installing the dependencies, there are two ways to build GTK+
 for win32.
