I've found out that if the user install a GTK+ Runtime (such as the one
found at http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/), GTk+ apps find the necessary
dlls just fine.

Another option is Application Paths - they are registry keys for you
application that set a path were it can find DLL's. It's better than
setting the global PATH environment variable. If your program uses a
installer, you'd set this registry key during installation. Google for
more details since I don't know exactly where the keys should be and how
that works.
