Well, the C side should be ok. The main problem is packaging, not
building the binaries (they're published on the gtk.org website), and
for that what's needed, besides some win32 development experience, is
time, to play with the existing packaging solutions, see what needs to
be done and, ideally, see if a cross-platform solution can be used, so
the installer could be generated by the pygtk people and published in
the official website.

Today I've just discovered a sourceforge project that has updated gtk+
runtime installers and is using an tailored NSIS script (maybe based on
Alberto Ruiz's one?): http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net

The only problem with this projects is that they need some
standardization and that they usually depend on a single man's work, so
they're not as sustainable as a well documented and easy to reproduce
procedure.
