No, this is only possible with C libraries. The C++ name mangling 
conventions are not same with mingw32 and MSVC -> you need separate 
DLLs, import libraries and def file. I would be happy to include 
MSVC-compatible DLLs and import libraries in my installer. 
Unfortunately, I don't have the time and/or Visual Studio.Net 2003 to 
even test the 2.2 project files included in the gtkmm tarball (I know 
there is the express version, but it's in beta).
