No need to translate, I'm french ;) ! I had pretty much all the issues 
you had and got a little further:

- gtk library location are automatically detected on startup (gaim code)
- locale automatically detected (gaim code). can be overriden with 
EASYTAGLANG
- the home user directory is set to c:\Documents and 
settings\user\application data
- the audio player is autodetected by looking into the registry (foobar 
and winamp for now)
- launching the audio player works using CreateProcess()

didn't know about _mkstemp ! going to use it

I did that yesterday looking at GTK 2.6   gtkfilesystemwin32.c for 
inspiration. wanted to use GtkFileSystem to see 2h later it was not 
meant for public use..bummer!
Most of the little bugs remaining are filesystem naming issues that 
trigger the "unknown directory" popup. So most testing will be about the 
filesystem and be sure that every functionality works.
There's some work to be done with the directory input text if the user 
type path with \  (inernally everything is done with / which is 
compatible with win32 and unix)

No problem I will post test binaries later today !
