I don't think it's a good idea to provide alternative binaries packages for 
gtk+ win32, except if you want to have a bunch of emails on the mailing 
list about people complaining with link or runtime errors when 
building/using gtkmm. Please contact Tor Lillqvist directly and ask him to 
put them online on his site, if he wants to. When this will be done, we can 
remove the restrictions on gtkmm for the win32 platform.

I don't understand : your friend is too lazy to submit patches but I 
suppose he spent at least 2 or 3 hours compiling glib/atk/pango/gdk and gtk 
on win32 !!!

Please contribute a msys related patch to README.win32 for gtkmm. I also 
add a look at your dispatcher.cc contribution and it looks fine  to me. 
Once again, you should open a bugzilla entry, submit your file to this 
entry and ask for a review by the guys who originally wrote Dispatcher and 
by pipes specialists (on win32).
