Are you sure about that? As far as I understood mingw dll's are only
used during compile time, the result should be completely independant
on mingw or other unixish help dll's.

I've compiled my linux gtk app using mingw. I've also installed ldd.
Let's run this on my mingw compiled exe:

$ ldd ./foo.exe
        ntdll.dll => ntdll.dll (0x7c900000)
        kernel32.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll (0x7c800000)
        libglib-2.0-0.dll => c:\mingw\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll (0x10000000)
        iconv.dll => c:\mingw\bin\iconv.dll (0x540000)
        MSVCRT.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVCRT.dll (0x77be0000)
        intl.dll => c:\mingw\bin\intl.dll (0x3d0000)
        ADVAPI32.DLL => C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL (0x77f40000)
        RPCRT4.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll (0x77da0000)
        OLE32.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\OLE32.dll (0x774a0000)
        GDI32.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll (0x77e40000)
        USER32.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll (0x77d10000)
        SHELL32.DLL => C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.DLL (0x7c9c0000)
        SHLWAPI.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHLWAPI.dll (0x77e90000)
        WS2_32.DLL => C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2_32.DLL (0x71a30000)
        WS2HELP.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2HELP.dll (0x71a20000)
        libgthread-2.0-0.dll => c:\mingw\bin\libgthread-2.0-0.dll (0x3e0000)
        LIBMYSQL.dll => c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.0\bin\LIBMYSQL.dll (0x620000)
        WSOCK32.dll => C:\WINDOWS\system32\WSOCK32.dll (0x71a50000)

As you can see it's threaded (libgthread) but independant on "custom" dll's.

So your app should work by having all relevant gtk dll's in PATH.
