What annoyes me is that plenty of people are doing that, and there is no 
central repository for dependencies. On 32bits, there is more or less 
gnuwin32, but you propose also your packages on the gtk site and i'm sure 
kde guys are doing that too.

I fear that it will be the same for 64bits packages. I know 4 places where 
there are packages built with the mingw-w64 compiler and there might be 
more.

What about joining forces and make one unique official repository for 
packages on Windows ?
