I tried to use the mingw version of gtk with no luck. It first 
looks in C:\MinGW even though I have MinGW installed somewhere 
else. Using a junction doesn't help becomes then it when it finds 
the dll it has missing symbols

"The Procedure Entry Point gdk_pixbuf_gettext could not be 
located in the dynamic link library 
C:\MinGW\lib\gdk-pix-buf-2.0\2.10.0\loaders\libpixbufloader-gdip-jpeg.dll".

I actually just copied over the loaders rather than using the 
full gtk mingw install because when I do that it complains about 
some lib??svg missing. I guess one can't mix mingw installs with 
non-mingw... but the gtk mingw install is incomplete too ;/

I hope this isn't going to be an on going thing... seems I've 
wasted quite a bit of time to try and get gdk to work. I probably 
could have written my own gui by now.
