[pygtk] Pygtk and Windows... how to build for release?

[Stuart Axon]

Cool, I'll give this a go hopefully tomorrow...  + probably come back with questions on how to do the merging with git (I've only used mecurial when it comes to dvcs).

(This is the main reason I think I'm a bad choice (even though I'm choosing myself) for maintainer... I'm always off doing other things... maybe doing this will help focus me or someth).

I got this working fine on windows a few months ago - using the
distutils build system.

I suggest you update my branch against master and then tell distutils to
build using the VC compiler.
