Hi Vincent, 

I'm maintaining the build environment and occasionally report/fix bugs in 
the backend. It's of course as always a more global work.

The available bundles are synchronized with the lib versions you can find in 
popular linux distros.
3.10.2 isn't there because I didn't setup do yet, but it's WIP. I personally 
find it too bleeding-edge to be provided on gtk.org, but it will land on 
http://win32builder.gnome.org. 

Regarding Cairo/Pixman, there used to be a bug which broke icons, but it 
seems to be fixed in latest version. So I'll likely use it in 3.10.2.

Build VM was being updated. Should be OK now, bundle will be produced soon.

It's up to you of course, but most reports were positive. I suggest you try 
to use the gtk.org bundle so bug reports will be easier to handle.
