Nice! Good job. Good information.

Why did you decide to use VC++ instead of mingw?

You might want to say something like:

Make sure that the GTK+ application that you are porting can be compiled
successfully and that it runs properly on a UNIX machine with GTK+ 2.0.
                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
instead of:

Make sure that the GTK+ application that you are porting can be compiled
successfully and that it runs properly on a UNIX machine. 

since you are using 2.0.

Some newbie will say it runs find under unix but gives errors with Win32.
