I'm terribly sorry to see you've spent 3 days on this while an
implementation for MSYS + MinGW already exists. It still needs
a bit of work and could certainly use a second set of eyes looking
over it, but in the state it is now the basics work with PyGObject.

I'm hosting it here until everything gets upstream:
https://github.com/dieterv/gobject-introspection

Some of the work I've done (about half) was already accepted
upstream, the rest is awaiting review from Johan Dahlin in this
bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620566

I contacted him last week (#introspection or #win32 on
irc.gnome.org) to get things going again, but he's a bit
busy atm.

Again my apologies for the late reply (have been away for
the weekend, with no internet access).

mvg,
Dieter
