Hi Alf,

As you, I am not a fan of Visual Studio.

I've started to use GTK at Linux, and, when I needed to make use of GTK at Windows environment. I tryed and 
liked of MinGW associated either to MSYS, an Windows emulator of Linux environment, (both from 
http://www.mingw.org), or to Dev-C++ (a graphic IDE project organizer to C/C++ code, that you can get at 
http://www.sourceforge.net or http://www.bloodshed.net). With both, I got good results.

I think that can be possible to use GTK with Visual Studio, and I am trying to fo it now, but  I don't know 
if have someone tried it before.

Good Luck

Paulo Ricardo
