Hi Yoshua, Yes, gtk is indeed cross platform. It uses glib that creates abstractions for lots of os stuff.
Regarding compilation on Windows you are encouraged to use the mingw compiler for gtk+ development. It is also possible to use a cross compiler under Linux that generates windows code, so you won't even need to use Windows in order to develop code for it. You are also welcome to join the #gtk irc channel at irc.gimp.org and ask about anything you get stuck on.
