There's a couple of patches you need that are not yet upstreamed
(due to their "ugly hack"/"wip" status) in this branch:
https://github.com/dieterv/gobject-introspection/commits/windows

Which is used to produce the experimental GTK+ bundle (including
g-i and pygobject for Python 2.7) on:

Installers are for end user product (GIMP, Gedit, Inkscape, etc)
but not for libraries and components used to build such end user
products. An installer for some sort of an SDK however would a
different matter... Maybe someday I (or somebody else) will even
find the time to get that done ;)
