There are a few issues here :

1. win32-specific changes still have to be commited to CVS, hopefully
this week.
2. GTK+ 2.10 is not widely available on win32 yet, i.e. from the major
distribution sites (gladewin32, gimp for win32, Tor's site).
3. Python 2.5 hasn't been released yet (expected: Sep. 19)
4. PyGTK 2.10 can be built against GTK+ 2.10 or 2.8.
5. Currently PyGTK 2.10 does not build against GTK+ 2.8 because of some
missing symbols in the atk 2.10 and 2.12 binaries (fixed on CVS).

As a mean of restricting the degrees of freedom for the win32 binaries,
I was thinking about providing PyGTK 2.10 binaries for GTK+ 2.10 and for
both python 2.4 and 2.5 when those become available, which should not
take too long now.

Stay tuned.
