+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
+either already available or will be available in the next stable release.
+Unfortunately compiling with Microsoft's compilers versions 2003 or earlier

+building this GTK+ release) requires features from newer compilers
+and/or Platform SDKs

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