This is the approach I take.  The first time I tried to run my GTK+
Win32 app on a user's machine I spent a few hours tracking down all of
the needed .DLL and .rc files.

Perhaps this list of needed files will save somebody those few hours.

So, if your installer puts YourApp.exe into the directory
"C:\Program Files\YourApp\YourApp.exe", here is a list of the other
files that you will need to install.  This list is for GTK+ version
2.2.2.
