It's great that you've taken on to do this work, many thanks! I've done some work on windows builds myself[1], and in fact there's more people interested than it might appear so feel free to bring issues up on this list.

You can get the Visual C++ toolchain for free from the Windows SDK[2], if you're interested in making these. Generating the import libs for VC is super easy, you just need the .def file for the DLL (and not even the actual DLL). > As such, is there any interest in hosting these files on > ftp.gnome.org/www.gtk.org?

That's a whole new can of worms :) I share the dream that one day it would be great to use the mingw cross compiler and an automated build service but I think it's important to get native builds working more reliably to begin with ..
