Work continues.  See
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32//new-downloads.html for a completely
new version.  It is GTK+ 1.3.0, but it *is* for windows.  It is newer

I have used tk for some time, particularly with tcl.  I'd probably go
with wxWindows for a cross-platform environment if I had to do a
complete rewrite of my code.
