+For people compiling GTK+ with Visual C++ 2005 or later, it is
+recommended that the same compiler is used for at least GDK-Pixbuf,
+Pango, atk and glib so that crashes and errors caused by different CRTs
+can be avoided. The VS 2008 project files and/or VS Makefiles are

+Unfortunately compiling with Microsoft's compilers versions 2003 or earlier

After installing the dependencies, there are two ways to build GTK+
for win32.

Alternative 1 also generates Microsoft import libraries (.lib), if you
have lib.exe available. It might also work for cross-compilation from
Unix.
