Not answering your question, but just FYI there are win32 binaries around. I have Gtk-3.14.3 ( bundled with Perl and other stuff ) at: http://tesla.duckdns.org/gtk3-perl-windows/ - in the "JewelKit" package. Sorry I don't have the time to unbundle gtk from everything else at this point.
I believe other people have their own Gtk3 binaries around, and build scripts as well. I have build instructions ... not quite at the level of having build scripts yet.
