It's not clear to me how to upgrade my GTK distribution. I've downloaded the
GTK DLLs from this page:

    http://jarh.hoops.livedoor.com/

which, IIRC, are the same ones I had used successfully with the gtk.so in
Ruby 1.6.2; but these no longer work for the Ruby 1.6.4 distribution. I've
also checked the "GIMP for Windows" home page but his DLLs for Windows have
same dates as those on the page above, so I'm *assuming* they're the same
ones.

To build Ruby/GTK from its source code, I would need to be able to at least
link to the import libraries for GTK+ itself, so I downloaded the GTK+
development sources (and the assorted dependencies) and made a genuine
effort to build it myself using Cygwin. That was a disaster and I finally
gave up.

I guess the real question is, does *anyone* out there have a working
installation of Ruby/GTK on Windows, that works with the Ruby 1.6.4
package??
