Does it support Gimp 2? And does the Gimp 2 runtime support pygtk and Glade?

If only source tarballs are official, maybe the GTK+, Glade, Pango etc. maintainers 
could standardize and adopt into the official source tarballs and documentation:
- all Win32 code, to avoid incompatible hacks (why should different installers for the 
same version have different bugs?)
- one or more supported Win32 compilers (I suggest the latest Mingw GCC and maybe the 
freeware Microsoft Visual C .Net compiler)
- file names and locations and directory structures (DLLs, themes, configuration 
files; libXyz.dll vs. Xyz.dll is particularly annoying, for example)
- registry entries for the installation of every component (so pygtk and other 
dependent applications can use them)
- scripts and other source files for popular installer tools like NSIS, InnoSetup etc. 
(to avoid duplicated and incorrectly duplicated work)
Then, with all these constraints in place, whoever makes an installer is likely to 
make a correct and compatible one.

I'm not a GTK+ expert, but maybe I could help with some of this work.
