There's a native windows port. You could also build it with the cygwin
unix emulation stuff, and then you have unix/X11 gtk running on
windows. But there is a win32-native GTK.

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/ has more. It talks about 1.3.0 on
the front but the download page has 2.0 downloads.
