I have been compiling Gtk3 Perl packages using MSYS2 and find it much
easier to do consistently.

Would you be interested in a set of scripts that you can use on your
machines or on Appveyor? To give an example of what I was able to
accomplish, see the build artifact at 
<https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zmughal/release/build/1.0.20/artifacts>.

That is a ZIP file that contains Perl, GTK+3, GTK themes, etc. along
with a PAR::Packer-based executable that starts the application (a PDF
reader based on MuPDF). I hope to take this and build an MSI installer
with it soon.
