So for gobject, is it worth starting with this branch with windows build fixes:

?

This is because my work is not in the master branch, so the (default)
checkout of master, after the clone, fails.

note: I did this last night and it merged fine, but I did't bother
pushing anything because I could not even build test it. This is what
you need to do (small mistakes might be here, I am doing this from
memory)

# checkout gnome version of pygtk
git clone url/of/gnome/pygtk
cd pygtk
# add my repository
git remote add john git://github.com/nzjrs/pygtk.git
git fetch john
# create a branch for you to work in. This is initially identical to my
# branch
git checkout -b my-work john/master-windows
# merge master into your new branch
get merge origin master

That should get you going, same steps apply for pygobject (which you
need to do first)
