Ok, so, I linked the gtk to the msys gtk that I installed before 
when trying to get glade to work and it worked!

seems that msys is much more up to date than anything else as it 
just works(I need to remember than in the future).

The problem I see is this:

When I get ready to release my app to the public, I can't expect 
them to all have to install msys and build.

msys seems to clump everything together and I don't know what 
files I need to extract to be able to bundle everything together.

Any ideas how to solve that problem? At least now I can move 
ahead and actually make some progress on my app.

Would still be nice to get the x86 vs x64 issue resolved so I 
don't have to keep switching between the two for testing 
purposes. Since Visual D was just patched to handle x64 BP's I 
guess I can stay with that for now.
