Yes, I am aware of the name of the library.
I believe that the spelling mistake was driven by my eagerness to finish 
learning GTK+ so that I can start learning GTKmm, which is my ultimate goal. 
I, however, am having problems finding a port of GTKmm to MSW-Cygwin.
I prefer working with C++ rather than C and since I will be implementing a 
GUI interface developed with GTK+ as soon as I get a grip on the GTK+? 
library. Thus, in anticipation to this inevitable event, I want to make sure 
that when the construction of the GUI begins I will be able to hook up the 
GTK+ GUI to my C++ library using the g++ compiler.
As far as I understand, GTK+ applications can be compiled with g++ and it, 
GTK+, can even be used with in the OO paradigm.

Yours truly, Jamiil.
