For the continuing maintenance of GTK+ 2.24.X only (binaries that
are supposed to be completely compatible with what's already
on ftp.gnome.org) :

- a place to store the built binaries and GTK+ bundle
    > used to be http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/
      linked to from http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php
    > the newer binaries I've built following Tor's scripts and
      guidance are living here:
      https://github.com/dieterv/legacynativebuilds/downloads

- if there's any interest, we could move these build script to
  a git repo on git.gnome.org instead of using
  https://github.com/dieterv/legacynativebuilds
  The repo could maybe use a better name too?

For GTK+ 3 and future releases: nothing has been set in stone, I'm
open to whatever consensus is reached, whether it'll be:
- continuing with Tor's build scripts like I did above for 2.24.X
- build script for a mingw-get-able repository
- OBS
- something else...

Yes. Many thanks to Olav for that!

Thanks, I'll remember that. In this case the assignee was
sysadmin-maint gnome bugs, didn't know who to poke ;)

Good to know, thanks!
