If you are going do download the latest binaries of everything anyway,
and copy them over the files installed by the gladewin32 installer, I
don't see the point in using the installer at all... It isn't like the
installer would do anything magic that is absolutely required. GTK+
doesn't require any Registry or other settings that you would get only
by running the installer first.

Actually, the ftp.gnome.org site has GTK+ 2.12.5 already. I just
haven't updated the downloads.html page which contains just links to
ftp.gnome.org. (As it says on the page, the links on it aren't
necessarily always up-to-date.)
