no, gtk on windows doesn't suck, but at the same time, isn't issued by
microsoft either, thus different (wrt IDE's), requiring some "by-hand" work.

i have a rather large project, designed under linux, also cross-compiled
into windows binaries.  i've gone down both roads of compiling directly
under windows (cygwin), and now simply cross-compiling on LINUX, even going
so far as to create the install .exe on LINUX.

both solutions work, and, as far as i'm concerned, it works great (when the
"by-hand" setup is not regarded as a hindrance).  maybe it doesn't work for
you, or the way you'd like, but then almost the entirety of MS output falls
into that category for me.

*de gustibus non est disputandum*
