Where did you get that information? Even the most recent version from cvs
still has:
GTK_MODULES="gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 libxml-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0
gthread-2.0"

and /should/ compile just fine with gtk+ 2.6. Though this may not be
checked very often since even gtk+-2.10 is released for quite some time.

Not that I know of. And to me it looks a litte pointless cause there is a
native version for win32 available for years. For someone with good
*nix/cygwin knowledge the usual
        ./configure; make; make install
may work.

If the PATH is different between your two environments it should work
flawlessly. (Given that the cygwin gtk does not use the windows registry
nor windows PATH environment variables. But instead provides a *NIX
environment even).
