I have the strong feeling that most people think that 3.6 is the latest
supported version for Windows. And they are very disappointed.

You may know that I was working on the Nim Bindings for GTK3, see 
https://github.com/StefanSalewski?tab=repositories

Recently I got this:

https://github.com/StefanSalewski/nim-gtk3/issues/3

I told that man from China that versions of GTK3 > 3.6 may be available
for windows. But it seems what they see is 3.6 as binary only.

I got more such report. Can not really help, because I am using Linux
only currently.

Maybe that MSYS2 project should be made more visible for Windows users.
Most windows users seem to be using binaries only, and are afraid when
something is not binary.
