Hacking on GTK-Win32 is very annoying if you have to cross compile & copy every time you make a change. It would be nice if the build system that comes out of this thread would be useful for more than just making the stock GTK packages.
Another flaw with cross compiling is I don't believe there's any way to link to a newer msvcrt.dll. The official windows version of python links against msvcr90 and mixing versions leads to a lot of subtle problems.
