Sorry to bump this but is anyone looking into it?  A few minutes ago I 
discovered that even the following 2 lines will fail if compiled in 
Debug mode:-

        #define  _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
        #include <gtkmm.h>

It's becoming near impossible to build glibmm and gtkmm using MSVC any 
more.  I honestly think someone should be assigned to investigate these 
problems before too many of them creep in...  :-(
