I haven't tried it yet by myself, but wouldn't there be a way to link all
(required) .o(bj) files of GTK+ into a .exe to make it distributable as a

GTK+ on Windows. I suppose this would require moderate to massive extra
manual effort but isn't that a working way at all?
You could do this, but you probably wouldn't want to, for the reasons
that Tor has already mentioned.
I agree with Roger that "setup.exe"s which install / extract their
contents as tons of files at the customer's harddisks are not acceptable /
desirable in some situations. I would rather put some more effort in
building a completely static binary in a non-standard way, if it's
possible at all. Is
I personally think that using a self-contained zip file that doesn't
need to be installed and can be extracted and ran anywhere is the best
solution. You could put it all on a self-contained CD (I run gaim this
way).
