That's right. I don't depend on mingwm10.dll, but I do on a dozen 
gtk-related dlls, which I got from /mingw/bin and I have to copy them to 
the program's directory.

Is there a better place to get them from? Other than the gtk-win32 zipfiles?

Also i found I have to copy the .mo files to get the translations.

My program installer ends up being 5M instead of 200K like it is on 
Linux, but it works and I can live with that.

Cheers,

Andrew
