Great work! Let's try to solve these problems:

This means that you didn't have librsvg installed when building; so it's
only built the prerendered theme support and you don't have a
prerendered theme installed. 

Here's how to generate one: You need a gnome-games build on your linux
box, _with_ librsvg. In this case, the build will produce a binary in
$pkglibdir (usually $prefix/lib/gnome-games),
"gnome-games-render-cards". Invoke it like this:

gnome-games-render-cards --theme bonded
--output-directory /some/where/to/put/the/files 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
110 120 [etc.]

(The numbers are the list of widths you want to prerender the cards at,
you can specify as much as you have disk space to store them :)

That should produce a bonded.card-theme file and a bonded/ subdirectory
containing the card images; just put these in the path
C:/msys/1.0/local/share/gnome-games-common\card-themes on your windows
installation.

That message was buggy, I've removed it.

I think just fixed that in svn by making that code #ifdef
GDK_WINDOWING_X11 (MingW is using win32 natively, right?).


Some more things that will need to be adapted to win32:

* sol.c:about_url_hook needs to use the win32 calls to open the browser
URL
* sol.c needs to implement a win32 specific help hook, and you need to
find a way to convert the documentation from docbook to the windows help
format. (For maemo I just converted them to XHTML with gnome-doc-tool
from gnome-doc-utils and use the web browser to show them.)
