I just had a look at my project's win32 zip, and it looks like the
complete gtk 2.18 stack is just under 6MB, including cairo, pango,
treetype and friends and a theme engine (I'm shipping clearlooks at
the moment, for some reason).

It's probably possible to shrink that a bit more, perhaps by stripping
symbols from the files more aggressively. What's your current size?
