Windows build:

I did some work on building newer support libs for Windows, but that ended up being 6 hours of mostly frustration. So Nettle, GMP, GTK and Freetype are all still versions from 2008 or so. That build will probably not be promoted to a real release. Use it at your own risk. I'll have another go at that in the coming weeks.
Hmm. I'd like to help out with GTK, at least - the regression against current stable Pike (which is shipping 2.24.10 in the .msi) is a problem for me, as I depend at least 2.16 for some features. The last time I had GTK versioning issues on Windows, I put together this collection of ready-to-go DLLs:
Dropping those files into the pike/bin directory makes GTK2.version() return 2, 24, 10, but since the module wasn't actually built against that version, functions like GTK2.Entry()->set_icon_from_stock simply don't exist. So presumably it'll need to be done at an earlier step in the build process.
Fixing GTK is probably less work than GMP/Nettle, but it's not something I've even looked at yet. I'll see if I can just plot your stuff or something more recent in there.
