If I was in Hans' position, I would be tempted to say 'to hell with Win32,
Cygwin/XFree86 to a back-end machine is good enough', but he is more happy
with the Win32 platform than I am (and I sit in front of it 39hrs+/week),
and seems to have a lot of fun to help porting GTK and dia to Win32. (I hope
he's got a lot of fun; this is frequently the only reward in that GPL
business).

One tip: I don't know whether the gtk+ dlls have a VERSIONINFO resource; if
they do, they might point you towards the right version to use.
