I compiled verson 2.24 of gtk and gtkmm too, I'm trying to do the same for
gtkmm3 with latest msvc, still doing it, I removed my unsucessful builds so
I can't say/paste my errors right now, but I will as soon as I hit first
build errors.

You said "You might also be interested to know that there's an official
Microsoft project that aims to build the GTK stack"
I'm guessing you talking about this:
http://hexchat.github.io/gtk-win32/

Can you provide a link to the microsoft project you said?

"basically, Microsoft is getting worried about all us small independent
devs releasing our own builds"

this is good because I don't like the way microsoft is pushing VS users to
use the NET framework and similar MS GUI toolkits, which I dislike so much.
gtkmm is far more advanced and clean then any of vs frameworks and
libraries.
